Faced with the consequences of climate change and the urgent need to adapt our lifestyles, our professions and our daily lives to strengthen the resilience of our territories, the authors have joined forces to analyze the problems and innovative methodologies of major risk prevention and management. Whether floods, earthquakes, explosions, toxic clouds, tsunamis, nuclear problems, fires or others, these risks are numerous and must be tackled upstream, after a systemic work of modeling and anticipation.
Having studied territorial resilience as a complex system , the authors have succeeded in proposing original definitions of certain key notions, and in presenting tried and tested tools as well as existing solutions or those being created, such as anticipating shocks, raising awareness among populations, or coordinating territorial players at all levels.
This book is designed to educate, train and make operational students, professionals and informed citizens, thus contributing to the emergence of a new risk culture in our society.
