Know Risk
Tudor Rose worked with the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN/ISDR) forming a unique public-private partnership in 2004 to produce a volume addressing the reduction of disaster risk.

Combining the professional publishing and marketing skills of Tudor Rose with UN/ISDR knowledge of global disaster reduction activities, Know Risk draws on the UN/ISDR’s extensive global relationships and international development interests to give comprehensive coverage of the issues involved in disaster risk reduction.

This fully illustrated, 376-page hardback book was published in January 2005, with commentaries from over 160 authors describing their work in disaster reduction at international, regional, national, municipal and local levels.

Launched at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan, on 19 January 2005, Know Risk shows how people around the world are living with natural and related environmental and technological risks, detailing how they are making their own efforts to reduce their exposure to disasters and reflecting progress in this field over the past decade.
