Natural disaster hotspots : case studies

Bok av Margaret Arnold
These case studies complement the earlier ground breaking work of ""Natural Disaster Hotspots: A Global Risk Analysis"" published in April 2005. Three case studies address specific hazards: landslides, storm surges and drought. An additional, three case studies address regional multi-hazard situations in Sri Lanka, the Tana River basin in Kenya, and the city of Caracas, Venezuela.
