This book advances a three-step program for mitigation of natural and anthropogenic hazards
addressing mitigation economics and funding possibilities to meet the needs of at risk
countries that lack the financial resources to invest in disaster reduction programs. Within
the context of mitigation this book covers prediction-prevention-preparedness for global
warming climate change as existing and progressive processes that create or abet slow
developing or rapidly occurring hazards that endanger society such as sea level rise extreme
weather events threats to food water security and the spread of infectious diseases.
