THE CAPACITY CRISIS IN DISASTER RISK MANAGEMENT...

How can a place be built and managed so that it is safe for people to live? Ironically  many
governments and citizens keep on asking the same question after every new disaster. Why  even
with high levels of investment in increasing government¿s capacity to manage disasters  do the
impacts of disasters continue to increase? What can the governments do differently? What is the
role of local communities? Where should aid agencies invest? This book looks into these
critical questions and highlights how current capacity development efforts might be resulting
in the opposite¿capacity crisis or capability trap. The book provides a new approach for the
understanding and the developing of effective local capacity to reduce and manage future
disaster impacts.
