Disasters are as much cultural as natural phenomena. For centuries, news about catastrophic events has been disseminated through media such as chronicles, pamphlets, newspapers, poems, drawings, and prints. Nowadays, we are overwhelmed with news about the cataclysmic effects of recent forest fires, floods, and storms. Due to the ongoing climate crisis, extreme weather events will likely have ever greater impacts on our lives.

English | 2004 | pages: 256 | ISBN: 1844150224 | EPUB | 20,3 mb
The rapid expansion of the RAF during the mid/late 1930s necessitated a massive storage requirement for high explosive bombs and other ordinance. Drawing on the experience of the Great War ammunition factories, the authorities set about identifying underground sites around Britain safe from the threat of air attack. Limestone quarries such as Chilmark in Wiltshire and slate mines (Llanberis) were ideal. Unfortunately in the haste of the moment safety arrangements were not a high priority and as a result there were over the ensuing years a number of appalling accidents; the most serious occurred in November 1944 at the huge (45 acre) Fauld Gypsum Quarry, Staffordshire. 4,800 tons of HE bombs detonated at the same time and resulted in the deaths of 68 people directly and more from gassing later. The book goes on to discuss the post-war disposal programme.

Free Download Fred Krüger, "Cultures and Disasters: Understanding Cultural Framings in Disaster Risk Reduction "
English | ISBN: 0415745608 | 2015 | 282 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Why did the people of the Zambesi Delta affected by severe flooding return early to their homes or even choose to not evacuate? How is the forced resettlement of small-scale farmers living along the foothills of an active volcano on the Philippines impacting on their day-to-day livelihood routines? Making sense of such questions and observations is only possible by understanding how the decision-making of societies at risk is embedded in culture, and how intervention measures acknowledge, or neglect, cultural settings. The social construction of risk is being given increasing priority in understand how people experience and prioritize hazards in their own lives and how vulnerability can be reduced, and resilience increased, at a local level.
