Hurricanes. Earthquakes. Pandemics. Global economic crises. Terrorism. Whether natural or man-made, massive catastrophes happen far more often than decision-makers once imagined. Organizations must prepare for these events-but how?
In Learning from Catastrophes, the world's leading experts in extreme risk management present innovative approaches to mitigation, preparedness, and response. They show how to dramatically improve forecasting and communication about high-consequence risks, use economic incentives to improve resilience and sustainability, and proactively implement operational steps for rapid, effective response to disaster.
In today's increasingly unstable, uncertain world, preparing for extreme risk has never been more urgent. Whether you're a leader in the private, public, or nonprofit sector, this book presents the principles and strategies you'll need.
