It marks an advance in practical and theoretical insights for understanding the role of demography in planning for and mitigating impacts from disasters in developed nations. Both slow onset (like the of loss polar ice from climate change) and sudden disasters (such as cyclones and man-made disasters) have the capacity to fundamentally change the profiles of populations at local and regional levels. Impacts vary according to the type, rapidity and magnitude of the disaster, but also according to the pre-existing population profile and its relationships to the economy and society. In all cases, the key to understanding impacts and avoiding them in the future is to understand the relationships between disasters and population change. In most chapters in this book we compare and contrast studies from at least two cases and summarize their practical and theoretical lessons. 2020-10-13T12:30:14Z 2020-10-13T12:30:14Z 2021 book ONIX_20201013_9783030499204_49 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/42577 eng application/pdf n/a 2021_Book_TheDemographyOfDisasters.pdf Springer Nature Springer 10.1007/978-3-030-49920-4 10.1007/978-3-030-49920-4 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 Springer 268 open access
