This book unlocks the transformative potential of Micro Human Efforts (MHE) in the domain of disaster resilience through an interwoven narrative of human resilience, grounded in insights from the influential special issue of the International Journal of Mass Emergencies and Disasters.
This work delves into the critical, often neglected, role of individual, intuitive initiatives in the wake of catastrophic events. By illuminating how these efforts can significantly reshape post-disaster recovery strategies, this book underscores the importance of local knowledge and community ingenuity. It posits that MHE has the capability to amplify grassroots movements into impactful agents of change. Readers will embark on a comprehensive exploration that redefines disaster management through a human-centred lens and highlights the essential contributions of individuals in fostering resilience.
The volume serves as an invaluable resource for academics, practitioners, and all stakeholders committed to advancing sustainable and adaptive responses in the face of climate-induced challenges.
