Returning social context to seismic risk knowledge & management. Lessons learned from an interdisciplinary research in the city of Esmeraldas, Ecuador

Finding a holistic and integrative – yet applied and manageable – framework for both understanding and reducing disaster risk has been at the forefront of the most challenging disaster risk research for decades. Still, the search for what some consider unachievable involves multiple challenges, from...
