This contributing paper looks into the use of disaster science in policy making for urban systems, where major risks need to be managed by bringing together emergency management, organisational resilience and climate change adaptation.

This study delves into multilateral and systemic disruption of critical infrastructure (CI) networks to assess the systemic resilience of CI “network-of-networks”.

This contributing paper analyses systemic risk and compound vulnerabilities, by highlighting a case study to help decision-makers formulate effective strategies to address the nature of systemic risks in their societies.

This study discusses insights, lessons, opportunities and challenges in the development and implementation of stakeholder focused, transdisciplinary research approaches in the context of managing and communicating climate-related risks more effectively. 

This contributing paper examines how the technical expertise of the engineering discipline as an input for risk knowledge may evolve into a 'critical' technical expertise.

This contributing paper aims to examine the need to effectively implement implement the interplay between technical decision-makers and the scientific community to achieve effective disaster risk reduction (DRR).

This contributing paper takes a look at a new risk prevention and mitigation approach allowing residents and school community from susceptible areas to build a collective response to emergency situations in matters of prevention and intervention. 

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview and an assessment of the level of inclusion of risk reduction and resilience measures in national policies and regulations for the protection of critical infrastructure.

This contributing paper examines access to emergency and related information during the COVID-19 pandemic as a crucial human security issue. 

This contributing paper aims to investigate the extent to which community-based disaster risk reduction (CBDRR) in practice really takes into account local knowledge (LK).
