For many years, the DKKV has been publishing its own series of publications dealing with key topics in disaster prevention and management. Publication No. 48, ‘Detecting Disaster Root Causes – A Framework and an Analytic Tool for Practitioners’ from 2013, is now available online. The publication shows that disasters are not caused solely by natural events, but are significantly influenced by underlying causes such as poverty, governance structures or a lack of preparedness. These perspectives are still highly relevant today for research and practice in disaster risk management.
The publications can be found on our website.
