內容簡介：
This risk multiplying challenge is dramatically changing in scope, severity and impact as a result of recent, ongoing and increasing levels of synergetic and cascading disaster risks driven by the interactions of Globalization, Urbanization and Climate Vulnerability. Although the risk multiplying nature of the preceding has been recognized little analysis of cascading disaster risks has been done in terms of how risks are interrelated and interlinked with the broader issues of public policy and resilience. The Tohoku Disaster in 2011 is relevant to the resulting of cascading disaster risks and poses tremendous policy issues after the Disaster. The presentation provides the analytical views of emerging cascading disaster risks and key perspectives of how those risks are interlinked with public policy and resilience with case studies.
