Natural Hazards Analysis: Reducing the Impact of Disasters

---

Natural Hazards Analysis: Reducing the Impacts of Disasters examines the haz-
ards analysis process but also provides a broad view of how we use the outcomes

in preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation activities of the emergency
management process. Specifically, this book demonstrates how we utilize a hazards
analysis for developing hazard mitigation strategies and the broader hazards risk
management process. Further, the roles of problem solving, decision making, and

risk communication are stressed in this text as a means of ensuring that we accu-
rately identify problems associated with hazards and the risks that they present and

make quality decisions associated with these risks. The risk communication process
is also addressed, and the importance of engaging stakeholders in ensuring that
risks are understood is stressed. The key is that hazards analysis is not an isolated
process, but one that involves public officials and employees, the public, and the
media, and that care is taken to ensure that all appreciate the risks that confront our
organizations and communities.
