Product Description We live in a world which continues to experience dramatic suffering and loss of life due to natural hazard. The disaster paradigm has accelerated efforts towards resilience building, particularly since the adoption of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), a ten year plan to build the resilience of nations and communities to disasters Urban areas present complexity and interconnectivity of various elements, and this needs to be considered when building the resilience of such areas to disasters. To address urban risks, local level disaster risk reduction (DRR) is of fundamental importance, not only because it is closer to the citizens, but because it is the repository of regulatory governance functions and local knowledge The need to scale up the capacity of DRR at the local government level to build urban resilience is a key incentive for this study. With particular reference to the example of Makati City in the Philippines, this book analyses a local DRR approach with reference to the HFA, applies a microlevel resilience assessment and discusses an effective model for enhancing local DRR capacity in the future. Review Matsuoka and Shaw examine disaster preparedness and the ongoing effort to build the resilience of nations and communities. The book is divided into three parts covering global frameworks and emerging local and urban issues, Philippine approaches at the national and city level, and microlevel disaster risk reduction to enhance resilience in Makati. Matsuoka is on staff at the United Nations Strategy for Disaster Reduction, UNISDR Office, Japan. Shaw is a faculty member of Kyoto University, Japan.
