A survey was undertaken comprising interviews with upper level decision makers as well as questionnaires to personnel in the field and the general public. The results of this survey are presented, together with a brief description of the past and current situation in the city with respect to transportation, flood risk, and other vulnerabilities. The sources of problems in responding adequately to disasters are analyzed and important lessons drawn. In particular, it is explained how failures derive from insistence upon the application of written plans in preference over redefinition of strategies and priorities, and how flexible systems represent a better approach to crisis situations. The book will be of interest to all who are concerned with disaster planning and management and the societal response to disasters. 000704774 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed May 9, 2014). 000704774 650_0 $$aHazard mitigation. 000704774 650_0 $$aNatural disasters. 000704774 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in applied sciences and technology,$$x2191-530X 000704774 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000704774 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-04654-9$$zOnline Access 000704774 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:704774$$pGLOBAL_SET 000704774 980__ $$aEBOOK 000704774 980__ $$aBIB 000704774 982__ $$aEbook 000704774 983__ $$aOnline 000704774 994__ $$a92$$bISE
