Disaster relief aidchanges and challenges /[electronic resource] :by Bimal Kanti Paul. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2019. - xxx, 262 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Channeling Disaster Aid: Process and Problems -- Chapter 3: Disaster Relief Provision -- Chapter 4: Response to and Emergency Relief Efforts for the Selected Disasters -- Chapter 5: Convergence Phenomenon -- Chapter 6: Conclusion.

'Dr. Paul has again provided an exceptional foundation in disaster studies, this time on the complex and evolving nature of humanitarian aid. Paul effortlessly guides the reader through aid theories, concepts, and processes across the disaster cycle while positing informative case studies, critiques, and prospects for more effective aid in the future. Undoubtedly a valuable text for scholars, practitioners, and policy makers alike.' Luke Juran, Virginia Tech, USA Disaster Relief Aid: Changes and Challenges provides a comprehensive analysis of disaster relief efforts undertaken globally during the last several decades, and examines the changes and challenges that have emerged over time. The book evaluates the current state of disaster relief and discusses how it may be improved. The author examines salient features of disaster relief operations and provides an overview of the development of global humanitarian assistance programs. The book also explores how disaster aid is channelled from non-affected areas to affected areas. Using five major natural and man-made disasters as case studies, the book analyses the nature and extent of emergency relief efforts undertaken for each. The final chapter covers the post-disaster convergence phenomenon; outlines the major challenges of international disaster relief operation and finally, posits recommendations on how to improve future disaster relief efforts. This is an essential interdisciplinary text on disaster response for both undergraduate and graduate students as well as an invaluable resource for disaster researchers, managers, and numerous international and national non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international agencies.
