Natural and Anthropogenic Disasters
Vulnerability, Preparedness and Mitigation
The major challenges of the 21st century faced by human beings are how to achieve
water security, food security, energy security and environmental security. Owing to
enhanced natural/anthropogenic disasters worldwide, these challenges become much
