Description:	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. This book includes a collection of 20 case studies and practices of DRR initiatives 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. This book is written for students, young researchers, and practitioners in the fields of DRR. We hope they will fi nd it useful and relevant to their work
