商品描述
A holistic view of geospatial data and analysis across the risk management lifecycle
Geospatial data and analytical tools are widely used for disaster management, insurance, humanitarian response, and defence--yet methodologies remain siloed. Geographic Perspectives on Disaster Risk Management, written by a team of experienced practitioners in catastrophe risk analytics and geospatial studies, connects these sectors by comparing approaches, identifying common challenges, and distilling cross-sector best practices for preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation.
Structured around the disaster risk cycle, the book addresses exposure and vulnerability mapping, risk preparedness and mitigation strategies, event monitoring, damage assessment, resilience building, and risk communication. It draws on data sources ranging from local traffic cameras to geostationary satellites and includes case studies illustrating real-world applications alongside outcome-based evaluations of current practices and future developments in disaster risk assessment.
Readers will also find:
- Cross-sector comparison of methodologies from international development, emergency response, insurance, defence, and commercial geospatial analytics
- Practical case studies demonstrating real-world challenges and solutions in disaster preparation, monitoring, damage assessment, and recovery operations
- Outcome-based evaluation of common approaches to emergency risk management, identifying strengths and limitations of current practice
- Coverage of future developments in data availability, analytical techniques, and climate risk assessment relevant to evolving environmental uncertainty
- Guidance on risk communication and decision-making frameworks that translate geospatial analysis into actionable operational and financial strategies
Designed for professionals in disaster management, emergency response, and the insurance industry, as well as researchers and advanced students in the geosciences, this book provides a structured, practice-oriented resource for applying geographic perspectives to quantify, communicate, and reduce disaster risk across sectors.

風險管理生命週期中地理空間數據與分析的整體觀
地理空間數據和分析工具廣泛應用於災害管理、保險、人道主義應對和國防等領域，然而方法論仍然存在孤島現象。《地理視角下的災害風險管理》，由一群在災害風險分析和地理空間研究方面具有豐富經驗的專業人士撰寫，通過比較不同領域的方法、識別共同挑戰，並提煉跨領域的最佳實踐，將這些領域聯繫起來，以便於準備、應對、恢復和減輕風險。
本書圍繞災害風險循環結構，探討了暴露和脆弱性映射、風險準備和減輕策略、事件監測、損害評估、韌性建設和風險溝通。它利用的數據來源從當地交通攝像頭到靜止衛星，並包括案例研究，說明現實世界的應用以及基於結果的當前實踐和未來災害風險評估的發展。
讀者還將發現：
- 來自國際發展、緊急應對、保險、國防和商業地理空間分析的跨領域方法比較
- 實用案例研究，展示災害準備、監測、損害評估和恢復操作中的現實挑戰和解決方案
- 基於結果的評估，分析應急風險管理的常見方法，識別當前實踐的優勢和局限性
- 涵蓋與不斷變化的環境不確定性相關的數據可用性、分析技術和氣候風險評估的未來發展
- 有關風險溝通和決策框架的指導，將地理空間分析轉化為可行的操作和財務策略
本書旨在為災害管理、緊急應對和保險行業的專業人士，以及地球科學領域的研究人員和高級學生提供結構化、以實踐為導向的資源，以應用地理視角來量化、溝通和減少各領域的災害風險。
