| Riassunto: | Handbook of Coastal Disaster Mitigation for Engineers and Planners provides a critical evaluation of the need for disaster preparation in coastal areas where about 60% of the world's population lives, and where 65% of the cities with a population of over 2.5 million are located. Written by an international panel of experts in the fields of engineering and risk management, the book presents a coherent overview of the last ten years of coastal disaster risk management and engineering during which some of the most relevant events of recent time have taken place, including the Indian Ocean tsunami, hurricanes Katrina and Sandy in the United States, and the 2011 tsunami in Japan.International case studies offer practical lessons on how disaster resilience can be improved in the future ; Contains tools and techniques for analyzing and managing the risk of coastal disasters ; Provides engineering measures for mitigating coastal vulnerability to tsunamis, tropical cyclones, and hurricanes ; Includes crucial tactics for rehabilitation and reconstruction of the infrastructure |
