Disaster risk reduction for safe development: a study of corporate practices in India

This book reports on SAARC Disaster Management Centre (SDMC) activities and its two-pronged strategies for knowledge management as a key to disaster risk reduction.

One is unlocking of those knowledge capitals which are confined locally in community domain in the multi-hazard-prone areas of the South Asian region and yet to be harnessed fully for resilience building. The second is interlocking of knowledge based institutions in operational as well as in research and development domains and also in the academia throughout the region by setting-up South Asia Disaster Knowledge Network (SADKN).
