Disaster Management

Abstract

All cities are in one way or another vulnerable to some
form of disaster. In particular, cities that are located in
seismically active regions are vulnerable to earthquakes
and volcanoes, while others are vulnerable to hurricanes,
typhoons, floods, or tsunamis. Therefore, emergency
and disaster management, which consist both of preemergency
and post-emergency measures, are the
important components of maintaining safety and security
of the people.
