It can reveal many adverse effects which are led by climate induced disasters on society. Therefore, it helps state as well as society for preparing and adopting adequate and successful measures for reducing the risk factors. In other words, measuring vulnerability and risk can show direction for preventing losses. It leads towards preparedness to reduce recovery time rather than dependence on relief and reconstruction and can help decision-makers in prioritising their intervention for proactive disaster mitigation strategies and climate change policies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book has assessed the pattern of climate induced disaster in Gujarat. It argues that disasters and develop-ment are mutually related. Disasters can create a setback in a process of development. At the same time, the type of development can increase or reduce the risk due to disaster. Therefore, the risk due to climate induced disasters also depends on vulnerability pattern on the state. This book has explored a regional model for assessing the pattern of vulnerability within the state by identifying the determinants of vulnerability existing  in the state. It has finally provided the ways and means of integrating risk reduction strategies into development planning and climate change policies.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"morecontent\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePraise for this book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a momentous study focusing on the importance of vulnerability analysis for assessing risk resulting from climate induced disasters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHence, it is enormously useful for policymaking for lessening the latent risk of potential disasters; and so would be extremely useful for geographers and policy makers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRolee Kanchan\u003c\/strong\u003e, Professor and Former Head, Dept. of Geography, The M.S.

The linkages between disaster management and development processes are not adequately emphasized in existing literature. The micro-level vulnerability and adaptation assessment can help communities to adopt within a system. Subsequently, the community can also recover from future disaster events under climate change scenario. In above context, the book by Dr Shital Shukla is praiseworthy effort taking Gujarat as a case study. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eR.B.
