“The book is a huge contribution to disaster anthropology and sociology, public policies, international relations and risk communication because it widens the range of approaches connected to the theme. It introduces rich and complex analyses stemming from case studies, which allow us to compare how prevention devices, participation and reconstruction are used in multiple ways by actors facing disaster.” (Marta de Araujo Pinheiro, Contexto Internacional, Vol. 39 (1), January-April, 2017)
