The book "Disaster Risk Management" offers a comprehensive analysis of the spatial variations of disasters, particularly floods. It highlights the serious disruptions that disasters cause in the functioning of societies and the extensive damages that often exceed the coping capacities of the affected communities. The work addresses both natural and human-made disasters and differentiates between slow and rapid events, such as droughts and earthquakes. The aim of the book is to provide readers with an integrated approach to understanding disasters. It analyzes the causes, negative impacts, human responses and perceptions, as well as aspects of prediction, warning, emergency response, and early recovery. Additionally, various interdisciplinary techniques for damage assessment and disaster risk management are presented. This book is aimed at a broad audience, including students, educators, researchers, geographers, environmental scientists, engineers, decision-makers, and practitioners involved in disaster risk reduction.
