This book examines Mozambique's response to the 2019 cyclones Idai and Kenneth, which caused widespread damage and a cholera outbreak. Utilizing an After Action Review (AAR), it evaluates the health sector's role in the multisectoral response and emphasizes the importance of leadership, coordination, and emergency preparedness. The AAR findings aim to enhance future disaster responses and improve Mozambique's health system resilience. It is intended for policymakers, health professionals, and disaster response planners.

This book explores the development of an advanced system for forecasting tropical cyclone tracks and intensities using biologically based artificial neural networks (ANNs). It addresses challenges in cyclone early warning systems, particularly in economically and technically limited regions like Bangladesh. The study involves evaluating current forecasting techniques and developing a novel ANN-based method that utilizes freely available satellite data. The approach aims to produce accurate forecasts without requiring extensive computational resources, potentially improving evacuation responses and reducing cyclone-related damages. The work is intended for researchers and practitioners in meteorology and disaster management.

"North Carolina's hurricane history charts the more than fifty great storms that have battered the Tar Heel State from the colonial era through Irene in 2011 and Superstorm Sandy in 2012, two of the costliest hurricanes on record. Drawing on news reports, National Weather Service records, and eyewitness descriptions, hurricane historian Jay Barnes emphasizes the importance of learning from this extraordinary history as North Carolina prepares for the inevitable disastrous storms to come"--Provided by publisher.
