Disasters and Social Capital

Risk Reduction and Geographical Legacies in the Philippines

This book analyzes social capital and preparations for natural hazards in the Philippines, arguing that economic inequality is detrimental to social capital which then makes societies more at risk of having natural hazards turn into disasters. It features a case study of a rural municipality in the Eastern Visayas region.
