This book includes selected papers presented at the international expert forum on ?Mainstreaming Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction in Education,? held at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand on 1?2 December 2017. The journey towards disaster risk reduction and resilience requires the participation of a wide array of stakeholders ranging from academics to policymakers, to disaster managers. Given the multifaceted and interdependent nature of disasters, disaster risk reduction and resilience require a multidisciplinary problem-solving approach and evidence-based techniques from the natural, social, engineering, and other relevant sciences.

Traditionally, hazard and disaster-related studies have been dominated by the engineering and social science fields. In this regard, the main purpose of this book is to capture the multidisciplinary and multisectoral nature of disaster risk reduction, and to gather existing data, research, conceptual work, and practical cases regarding risk reduction and its ties to sustainable development under a single ?umbrella.? Along with the sustainability aspect, the book also links disaster risk reduction with development, technology, governance, education, and climate change, and includes discussions on challenges, solutions, and best practices in the mainstreaming of disaster risk reduction.

Asmita Khadka and Indrajit Pal

Dr. Indrajit Pal is an assistant professor at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand and has more than 16 years of experience in research, teaching, training, advocacy, consultancy primarily focused on disaster risk governance, incident command system, hazard and risk assessment, CBDRM, public health risk, disaster resilience, and DRR Education. Dr. Pal is supervising a number of Doctoral and Masters’ research across Asia and Africa in the field of disaster risk management and governance. Dr. Pal authored a number of peer-reviewed journal papers, conference paper, and books. Some of his ongoing research includes Disaster Resilience and Sustainable Development Education in Asia, Risk Characterization in Asian Delta communities in "Living Deltas" UKRI project.

Dr. Jason von Meding is an associate professor at the University of Florida and founding faculty of the Florida Institute for Built Environment Resilience (FIBER). His research focuses on the social, political, economic and environmental injustice that causes people, across global societies but particularly in the developing world, to be marginalized and forced into greater risk of being impacted by disasters. He collaborates with a range of industrial and humanitarian partners as well as communities that experience complex challenges and threats, that sometimes manifest as emergencies and disasters.

Dr. Sangam Shrestha has more than 15 years’ experience in conducting research, organizing regional and international policy dialogues, capacity building, and leading international and national research teams.
