Events such as earthquakes, volcanoes, & wildfires can be devastating to the developments in their proximity. This book addresses the importance of planning for both natural & anthropogenic hazards & brings into focus the technical, scientific, economic, political, & social links that should be considered in the earliest stages of development planning.
