Changes in financial cover, better enforcement  procedures for building standards, better business contingency  planning, and well developed emergency response were demanded from all  sides. In this volume an international group of experts present recent  research on the variety of approaches adopted by different countries  to assess natural hazard risks and the incentives for mitigating and  financing them, the particular focus being in earthquake risks. The  volume also presents an in-depth summary of recent reforms in Turkey  related to seismic risks, with comparative research from many other  countries. Linkages are emphasised between science and engineering  infrastructure, insurance and risk management, and public policy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792370994\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792370994\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0806-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 286\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343292723340,"sku":"9780792370994","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792370994_eea272a6-68bf-46cf-8921-1e4c07d01c9e.jpg?v=1755051357","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792370994","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
