A critical analysis of disaster risk management law of Pakistan

This book presents a seminal study on natural disasters from managerial as well as politico-legal perspectives. The book proposes that hazards turn into disasters mainly due to governmental incapacities and inefficiencies not only to avert the disasters but also to enable the communities to cope with them without sustaining much loss to their lives and livelihood. It is intended for every environmentalist, public policy-maker, academician, NGO, and civil rights activist.
