This timely Research Agenda provides both an introduction to the field of disaster law and a detailed critique of current debates in law and practice.
It analyses legal rights and obligations against the background of devastating impacts of natural and human-made hazards, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and pandemics.

Remarks:

I think that there is too few discussion on legal aspects in Disaster Risk Reduction DRR.

So that volume certainly has its role of updating and extending existing debates.

In case RIMMA CoE members know about a wider collection of literature on legal aspects in DRR, please let us know.

We already shared a lot of legal aspects concerning the digital and information interoperability side.
These developments are not exceptional to the DRR fields, they are necessary to make appropriate methodologies and operational/implementation practice mandatory/obligatory for all stakeholder involved, supporting timeliness results for citizens involved in “Situations of Exceptional Need”.

Such Literature also belongs to basic DRR Information Management, so a separate page in the RIMMA web domain on legal aspects might be started. On the other side, knowing about legal discussions is important on the DRR Application Projects  on the research side because priorities, methods and techniques as well as consequences in management applications and operations should be driven by, consider, and enforce as well as consider legal consequences in all phases of the DRR management cycle.
