Product Description Natural disasters appear to be on the rise worldwide, their increasing frequency and farreaching devastation demand the attention of society. But do natural disasters really occur more often than before? Globalization has led to more direct linkages to distant places than existed in the past. The rising interconnectedness and dependency within human systems increase in complexity while the nature of those connections gets more complicated and the number of system elements increases.Managing Natural Catastrophies argues that the key to finding a more effective response to natural disasters is to understand their many preventable causes. About the Author Dr.Anja Reissberg was born in Munich and studied Economic Geography at the LudwigMaximilians University. She holds a PhD in Geography from the University of Hawai'i at Manoa, USA where she deepened her focus on the interface of natural disasters, the economy and society, specifically humaninduced social, economic, environmental and cultural vulnerabilities researching in particular the functioning of the Hawaiian hurricane hazard management system. For coping with the extreme complexity, interconnectivity and dynamics of such challenges for the first time she applied the most innovative and powerful cybernetic tool of the (so called) Viable System Model which led her to entirely new and highly relevant insights into the inner workings and deep structures of the organizations involved and, most importantly, reasons for inefficiencies and mismanagement.Immersing herself in the islands for seven years, she worked with local, state, federal, nongovernmental and privatesector organizations, departments and agencies to overcome interdisciplinary and bureaucratic boundaries thereby coming to highly relevant recommendations for the functioning of the wholistic total emergency system which would save countless lives in the case of any major disaster. Her dissertation on these complex systemic challenges in Management Cybernetics brought her to Malik Management in 2010 as a Systems Expert with a focus on the functioning of looslycoupled dynamic networks of organizations.
