This book was released on 2012-07-30 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) continually strives to improve the delivery of disaster assistance to states and local governments. The Hazard Mitigation Field Book (HMFB) for Roadways assists entities directly affected by catastrophic events and disasters by suggesting mitigation measures. The mitigation measures are intended to help in identifying mitigation options and solutions for local jurisdictions and can be used at any time, and not just after a disaster. As disasters have grown in frequency and severity, the costs of response and recovery have escalated to unsustainable levels. Obligations through the Federal Disaster Relief Fund ballooned from 2.8 billion in 1992 to 34.4 billion in 2005 due to damages associated with the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons. The most effective way to reduce these excessive losses is through disaster preparedness and mitigation. To best achieve this goal, we need to pursue two objectives: 1) Break the disaster-rebuild disaster cycle. Merely repairing substandard infrastructure and elements to their pre-disaster condition does not protect the community from future disaster damages or reduce long-term costs. Mitigation improvements should always be considered in the rebuilding process, utilizing a multi-hazard approach whenever possible. 2) Ensure that communities address natural hazards. Comprehensive plans should acknowledge all hazards that pose a risk and identify steps to avoid those hazards altogether or incrementally reduce a community’s exposure to its hazards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces the concept of hazards as part of the earth’s natural systems, in contrast to "disasters," which occur at the intersection of the built and natural environments. It emphasizes choices made by society that either increase or diminish our level of vulnerability to the impacts of hazards, and the role of the emergency manager in how these choices are made and acted upon. The book defines key concepts including mitigation, preparedness, resilience, vulnerability, and explains the role of the emergency manager in putting these principles into practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is designed to educate vulnerable communities, emergency practitioners, and disaster researchers to build up the social and physical capacity of communities to mitigate and adapt to disaster impacts. With climate change escalating the intensity and range of disasters, we have entered an unprecedented time. The tools in the book allow researchers, practitioners, and community leaders to adopt new training techniques that are more engaging and effective using a bottom-up framework to integrate knowledge, attitude, preparedness, and skills (K.A.P.S). The book is comprised of two main resources: a guidebook designed for instructors including researchers, practitioners and community leaders, and a workbook designed for residents living within multi-hazard communities. Including a full range of templates, worksheets, survey questions, background information, and guidance for carrying out training, all of the material has been field-validated to meet research standards. The framework is designed to serve as an adaptable model that national and international audiences can utilize to better prepare their communities for disasters related to hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes. As climate change continues to ravage communities, the K.A.P.S. training program will prove to be an important tool for community trainers and academics across a range of hazards and disasters"--
