The primary aim of the book "Earthquake and Volcano – Disaster Management" is to provide a comprehensive explanation of the geological processes that cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It also explores tactics for emergency response, risk reduction, and prediction. Tectonic plate motion and magma composition and migration are two of the many mechanisms and causes of earthquakes and volcanoes that are covered in length in this book. Evaluation of possible hazards related to seismic and volcanic activity. Determining the frequency and severity of such incidents, as well as describing locations that are susceptible to possible harm, are all included in this. Create plans for emergency readiness to minimise damage. To strengthen resilience against these disasters, this includes community training programmes, land-use planning, and construction codes, includes details on efficient reaction plans for handling these catastrophes' immediate aftermath. Rebuilding infrastructure and restoring services are long-term recovery solutions for damage caused by earthquakes and volcanoes, with a focus on enhancing resilience against future disasters. To be extremely helpful to a wide range of readers, the book ideally integrates theoretical underpinnings, relevant advice, case examples, and current research findings. This will be a thorough guide on how to minimise the risks brought on by volcanoes and earthquakes.
