English Summary/英文概要： Disaster risk management is of increasing significance in today’s world. Every year, natural disasters cause tens of thousands of deaths and tens of billions of dollars’ worth of losses. Northeast Asia holds a high propensity for natural disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, floods and landslides. Countries in the region have a long history of natural disasters that have devastated populations, cities and their heritage. Restoring livelihoods and rebuilding social and economic infrastructures requires adequate political actions and financial resources, necessitating the implementation of a comprehensive strategy for the management of catastrophe risks.
Coping with Disaster: Risk Management in Northeast Asia provides an examination of the disaster risk management approaches and financing practices adopted in China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The objective of this book is to provide the necessary information on hazards, exposures and vulnerabilities to assist policy development design to increase governmental preparedness for catastrophe risks. It addresses the traditional aspects of disaster risk management, but goes further to focus on the measures of financial protection required to secure post-disaster resources and strengthen budgetary discipline.
Written in an accessible and comprehensible manner, the book will appeal to a wide audience, but is of special interest to policy-makers, public officials, insurance managers and students eager to learn more about disaster risk management in one of the most exposed regions in the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 灾害风险管理在当今世界具有越来越重要的意义。每年，自然灾害造成数万人死亡，数百亿美元的损失。东北亚地区自然灾害频发，包括地震、海啸、台风、洪水和山体滑坡。该区域各国有长期遭受自然灾害的历史，这些灾害摧毁了人口、城市及其遗产。恢复生计和重建社会和经济基础设施需要充分的政治行动和财政资源，因此有必要执行一项管理巨灾风险的全面战略。
《应对灾害:东北亚风险管理》考察了中国大陆、台湾、日本和韩国的灾害风险管理方法和融资实践。这本书的目的是提供有关灾害、暴露和脆弱性的必要信息，以帮助制定政策，提高政府对巨灾风险的准备。它涉及灾害风险管理的传统方面，但进一步集中于确保灾后资源和加强预算纪律所需的财政保护措施。
该书以通俗易懂的方式写成，将吸引广泛的读者，但对那些渴望更多地了解世界上受灾最严重地区之一的灾害风险管理的决策者、政府官员、保险经理和学生来说，这本书具有特殊的吸引力。（WYL）
