This book is a technical guide that clearly explains the basic knowledge and techniques required for Forest-based Disaster Risk Reduction. The book is composed of four parts: "Introduction," "Planning," "Technical," and "Reference." The "Introduction" is intended for all those working on disaster prevention and mitigation through the use of forests; the "Planning" section is aimed at planners of disaster prevention and mitigation projects; and the "Technical" section is designed for engineers involved at the project level. The "Reference" section introduces trends in forest-based disaster prevention and mitigation efforts in developing countries. The book is structured so that readers can deepen their understanding by reading the "Introduction" and "Planning" sections together, or the "Planning" and "Technical" sections together.
