520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. "The images of some of these incidents only bring home, rather poignantly, the fact that the biggest lesson that COVID-19 has taught us is that we have to be genuinely concerned about the condition of our poor, and that the bulk of us have to overcome several fault lines in our minds before we can even think of building an inclusive, just and caring society in the near future. Disaster is a sudden, calamitous event bringing great damage, loss, destruction and devastation to life and property. The damage caused by disasters is immeasurable and varies with the geographical location, climate and the type of the earth surface/degree of vulnerability. This influences the mental, socio-economic, political and cultural state of the affected area. Coronaviruses (CoV) area large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans. COVID-19 in Asia-Pacific has added to the multitude of risks that the region faces intersecting with natural hazards, conflicts and fragility. More than any previous disaster, the novel coronavirus has exposed underlying risks and vulnerabilities and challenged the traditional notion of risk. The impact on population groups with pre-existing vulnerabilities has been particularly severe especially where the health crisis has turned into a humanitarian and economic crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a suboptimal response to this threatening global disaster, including the response to the psychological impact. Both the economic hardship and the continuous media coverage of alarming news have exacerbated this effect which also includes increased domestic violence. This book discusses the ways in which COVID-19 has provided the opportunity to make the world resilient to multiple hazards by systematically evaluating lessons learned from the COVID-19 response for disaster risk management. Decision and policy makers in disaster management are compelled to look at alternative measures during the COVID-19 pandemic"-- Back cover.
