30 Years after the Lake Nyos Disaster by Henry Ngenyam Bang Book PDF Summary
This book is based on empirical research about the Lake Nyos Disaster, and examines contemporary challenges within natural hazards/disaster risk, vulnerability, resettlement, risk perception, disaster management and relocation decisions in Cameroon. It brings the ramifications of the LND to the fore, analysing not only the continuing social vulnerabilities/risks in the affected populations, but also ongoing efforts to rehabilitate the affected area. This treatise is further enriched by theoretical concepts/ models in disasters along with an analysis that integrates the results/findings with the theories that underpin them. Based on the research results, the author has produced a new disaster model that informs Relocation Decisions.
