Advancements in understanding the radon signal in volcanic areas. A laboratory approach based on rock physicochemical changes

Throughout our history, humans have had to deal with different types of disaster (earthquake, landslide, flood, tsunami, cyclone, etc). The rapid growth of the world’s population has increased both the frequency and severity of disasters. Disasters have exacted a high toll in terms of lives and property. Therefore, development of different techniques for disaster mitigation is an imperative task in human civilization. Any book on disaster has great relevance for human mankind. This book will try to give the advanced techniques for forecasting the occurrence of the disaster. It will be also very helpful for risk analysis. The book will cover the different topics of disaster such as earthquake, landslide, flood, fire, cyclone, etc. It is also expected that the proposed book will open new area of research in disaster mitigation and management. The proposed book will give the new computational techniques for better understanding of mechanism of different disasters. It will also give robust model for prediction of effects of disaster. Practionar engineers always want new techniques for disaster mitigation. The proposed book will serve this purpose. Eminent scientists will give innovation techniques for disaster mitigation. This collection of chapters from several authors will be an excellent analysis of different mitigation strategies. An attempt will be made in each chapter for approaching the problems of disaster more holistically. The proposed book will also cover the effect of social and economic conditions on different disasters. The effect of climate change on disaster will be also discussed. The main contribution of the proposed book will be that it will not only deal with the forecasting and description of the various disasters, but also will stress the management aspect that is, mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. The nature of disaster management depends on local economic and social conditions. The effect of local economic and social conditions on disaster management will be described. The different techniques for coastal disaster management will also be discussed. Editors will stress the importance of social processes and human–environmental interactions on disaster management. The book will present the contributions of the authors and other persons and covers a wide spectrum of disaster management problems that extend over the last four decades or so. An important focus of the book is on damage reduction through prevention, preparedness, mitigation, response, recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction. The proposed book will discuss the advantages of past data analysis for disaster mitigation and management. The knowledge from past data analysis will be an important parameter for disaster mitigation and management. Data analysis will be also useful for forecasting of disaster.
