Au cours de l’histoire de l’humanité, les enjeux liés à la prévention des désastres n’ont jamais été aussi élevés qu’aujourd’hui. La multiplication des connaissances qui accompagne les efforts de recherche et d’action fait cependant ressortir un paradoxe apparent : en dépit de l’augmentation des recherches et des politiques de prévention les pertes humaines et les dommages ne diminuent pas autant que l’on pourrait l’espérer. En s’appuyant sur des exemples en Amérique latine, en Asie et en Europe, Les politiques de prévention des désastresprésente ce paradoxe récurrent. Il expose les raisons pour lesquelles celui-ci est insatisfaisant et conditionné. Cette démarche permet de mieux comprendre les limites de la prévention des désastres et de suggérer ce qui pourrait être fait pour les repousser. Dans une approche alternative aux évaluations des politiques les plus classiques, cet ouvrage défend l’idée que les politiques de prévention des désastres sont nécessaires, tout autant que nécessairement limitées. C’est pourquoi il est fondamental de ne pas seulement en souligner les limites mais aussi d’en reconnaître les apports et d’identifier ce qui permettrait de les améliorer.

This book addresses disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies, focusing on reducing the paradox that exists between the compulsory implementation of DRR policies and continuing limitations The authors use their knowledge of the ever-evolving threats associated with disasters and their prevention to investigate this famous paradox and propose solutions that will help readers understand and reconsider its existence. The authors also discuss conditionings behind this paradox, helping readers understand the existing solutions, also suggesting how to reduce the limitations of DRR policies. - Offers a fresh perspective on the assessments currently available on disaster and DRR policies - Provides insight based on examples of DRR policies taken from Latin American, Asian, and European cases - Focuses on reducing the paradox that exists between the compulsory implementation of DRR policies and continuing limitations
