Klappentext zu „City Evacuations: An Interdisciplinary Approach “
Evacuating a city is a complex problem that involves issues of governance, preparedness education, warning, information sharing, population dynamics, resilience and recovery. As natural and anthropogenic threats to cities grow, it is an increasingly pressing problem for policy makers and practitioners.The book is the result of a unique interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers in the physical and social sciences to consider how an interdisciplinary approach can help plan for large scale evacuations. It draws on perspectives from physics, mathematics, organisation theory, economics, sociology and education. Importantly it goes beyond disciplinary boundaries and considers how interdisciplinary methods are necessary to approach a complex problem involving human actors and increasingly complex communications and transportation infrastructures.
Using real world case studies and modelling the book considers new approaches to evacuation dynamics. It addresses questions of complexity, not only in terms of theory, but examining the latest challenges for cities and emergency responders. Factors such as social media, information quality and visualisation techniques are examined to consider the 'new' dynamics of warning and informing, evacuation and recovery.

Autoren-Porträt
John Preston wurde in den 1950er Jahren in Medfield, Massachusetts geboren. Er begann seine Schriftstellerlaufbahn als Autor pornografischer Erzählungen in schwulen Monatsmagazinen, die ihn zwar als Mr. S/M schnell berühmt machten, aber auch als Schmuddelkind des schwulen Literaturbetriebs abstempelten. Als Mitherausgeber des renommierten Advocate und Herausgeber zahlreicher Anthologien erwies er sich in den späten 1980er Jahren als einer der fruchtbarsten schwulen Publizisten Amerikas. Preston starb 1994 an den Folgen von Aids.
