In a mountainous area like Austria alpine hazards are a safety risk: floodings, landslides, avalanches, and rockfalls endanger man, human settlements, living space, and economic area. Adaptation to climate change requires particular precautions for human living spaces. Traditional measures and the traditional perception of natural disasters give a clue to the management of future scenarios. This intangible heritage fosters sustainable developments by education.

Terroranschläge und Kriege, Tsunami, Erdbeben, Vulkanausbrüche, Klimawandel, Ölpest, Finanzkrise - Berichte über »Katastrophen« sind längst medialer Alltag. Offen bleibt jedoch die Frage, welche Intentionen und Konsequenzen die zunehmende Verwendung des Katastrophenbegriffs durch Politik und Wirtschaft mit sich bringt. Die Beiträge des Bandes fragen daher: Dient der Begriff tatsächlich nur der Beschreibung - oder soll auch eine Atmosphäre des Ausnahmezustands geschaffen werden, die eine Anwendung von sonst nicht konsensfähigen Verfahren ermöglicht? Wohin führt es, wenn die Einordnung von Ereignissen in umfassende soziale Prozesse umgangen wird, wenn ihre Wahrnehmung als Konsequenz eingegangener Risiken ausbleibt? »Der Sammelband ist denjenigen Leser/-innen zu empfehlen, die Spaß am Mit- und Querdenken haben und sich darüber im Klaren sind, dass es auch eine ungesunde Priorität der Prävention geben kann.« Forum Kriminalprävention, 4 (2013) »Dieser Sammelband nähert sich dem Katastrophendiskurs aus überraschend vielfältigen Perspektiven und bietet eine überzeugende Neuformulierung des Gesamtkonzepts ›Katastrophe‹ an.« Anke Kristina Aßmann-Gramberg, Sicherheit + Frieden, 4 (2013) Besprochen in: Fraunhofer IRB, 10 (2013) Neue Politische Literatur, 61 (2016)

A new field of medicine has emerged as a result of the global proliferation of terrorism. Terror medicine is related to emergency and disaster medicine but focuses on the constellation of medical issues uniquely related to terrorist attacks. The field encompasses four broad areas: Preparedness Incident management Mechanisms of injuries and responses Psychological consequences. In Essentials of Terror Medicine, these core concerns are addressed by a distinguished international authorship that has been brought together by the three editors of this volume, who themselves are recognized experts in relevant disciplines: Shmuel Shapira, epidemiology and hospital administration; Jeffrey Hammond, trauma surgery and emergency response; Leonard Cole, bioterrorism and public policy. Moreover, many of the book’s 35 contributors have had immediate and extensive experience in the medical management of terrorist attacks. The book provides insightful and practical information for physicians, nurses, emergency responders, and other health professionals who may be called to service during or after a terror incident. Essentials of Terror Medicine is indispensable reading for the medical community of the 21st century, in which diligence, continued education, and careful preparation for a variety of possible events are a preeminent responsibility.
