      abstract = {This book addresses increasing concerns regarding the  relationship between social capital and disaster,  highlighting conceptual definitions related to social  capital and disaster, family, community, vulnerability,  disaster experience, and preparedness. Focusing on a  contemporary case of disaster management in Malaysia, the  authors explore and establish linkages between the level of  social capital and disaster preparedness among the  indigenous Orang Asli people. Taking the case of the Orang  Asli families as a point of departure, the book presents  solutions for mobilizing social capital for disaster  preparedness through multi-stakeholder involvement,  promoting participation in awareness programs, ensuring  indigenous peoples access to resources, and proposing a  prioritization of local values and culture in enabling  proper planning and coordination for more  disaster-resilient communities in Malaysia, Southeast Asia,  and beyond. The book is broadly relevant to cases in  similar economic settings where indigenous people are  lagging behind in disaster preparedness. An excellent  resource for sociologists, this pioneering book collates  various concepts and theories relating to social and  ecological networks and systems, family resilience, and  stress and coping mechanisms. It is relevant to researchers  focused on disasters in developing countries, globally,  particularly those focused on indigenous communities. .},
