Disaster Risk Reduction Methods, Approaches and Practices Takako Izumi Rajib Shaw Editors Disaster Management and Private Sectors Challenges and Potentials Disaster Risk Reduction Methods, Approaches and Practices Series Editor Rajib Shaw, Kyoto University, Japan ABOUT THE SERIES SCOPE OF THE SERIES Disaster risk reduction is a process which leads to the safety of community and nations. After the 2005 World Conference on Disaster Reduction, held in Kobe, Japan, the Hyogo Framework for Action [HFA] was adopted as a framework of risk reduction. The academic research and higher education in disaster risk reduction has made/is making gradual shift from pure basic research to applied, implementation- oriented research. More emphasis is given on the multi-stakeholder collaboration and multi-disciplinary research. Emerging university networks in Asia, Europe, Africa and Americas have urged for the process-oriented research in disaster risk reduction fi eld. Keeping this in mind, this new series will promote the outputs of action research on disaster risk reduction, which will be useful for a wider range of stakeholders including academicians, professionals, practitioners, and students and researchers in the related fi eld. The series will focus on some of the emerging needs in the risk reduction fi eld, starting from climate change adaptation, urban ecosystem, coastal risk reduction, education for sustainable development, community based practices, risk communication, human security, etc. Through academic review, this series will encourage young researchers and practitioners to analyze fi eld practices, and link it to theory and policies with logic, data and evidences. Thus, the series emphasizes evidence based risk reduction methods, approaches and practices. EDITORIAL ADVISORY GROUP 1 . M s.

Printed on acid-free paper Springer Japan KK is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Pref ace The year 2015 will be an important year for disaster risk reduction (DRR) practitio- ners and scholars, as the international DRR framework, the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) adopted in 2005, is slated for revision. In the last 10 years, there has been signifi cant progress in DRR. The HFA has sought the involvement and active participation of various stakeholders, including governments, international and regional organizations, NGOs, civil society organizations, scientifi c communities, and the private sector. Recently, there has been particular demand for the private sector’s engagement in DRR, as this group is affl uent with human and fi nancial resources, knowledge, skills, technology, networks, and various capacities to con- tribute to building disaster resilience. I n this global economy, the role of the private sector in DRR is crucial. In addi- tion to protecting its own investments and businesses to ensure regular operations and production during and after disasters, the private sector must also help protect global supply chains. Furthermore, the private sector must understand that partici- pation in DRR initiatives might create business opportunities and expand business markets. At the same time, other stakeholders, such as governments, NGOs, and academia, must involve private sector businesses as key participants not just as donors in program development and planning processes. This book includes a collection of 20 case studies and practices of DRR initia- tives by the private sector. The fi rst part focuses on overviews and regional cases from Asia, Europe, Africa, and Central America, as well as perspectives from the international level, such as those of UNISDR and APEC. The second part draws upon cases at the national level, from India, Japan, the United States, Vietnam, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Nepal. T his book is written for students, young researchers, and practitioners in the fi elds of DRR. We hope they will fi nd it useful and relevant to their work.
