Sa velikim zadovoljstvom predstavljamo ovu zbirku radova koja obuhvata raznovrsne tematske jedinice u skladu sa aktuelnim trendovima u razvoju studija o katastrofama. Ove tematske jedinice pokrivaju širok spektar, obuhvatajući i prirodne i antropogene opasnosti, a organizovane su u tri glavne kategorije.
Prva grupacija radova fokusira se na pripremu, ublažavanje, odgovor i oporavak od katastrofa izazvanih prirodnim opasnostima. U okviru ove oblasti, istražujemo složene aspekte litosferskih katastrofa poput zemljotresa, klizišta i vulkanskih erupcija. Takođe, bavimo se izazovima koje predstavljaju hidrosferske katastrofe poput poplava, lavina i odrona. Atmosferske katastrofe, uključujući olujne gradonosne pojave, suše i ekstremno niske i visoke temperature, takođe su temeljito obrađene. Biosfera zauzima središnje mesto kako bismo istražili odgovore na epidemije, epizotije, epifitonoze i šumske požare.
Druga grupacija radova dublje istražuje pripremu, ublažavanje, odgovor i oporavak od katastrofa izazvanih antropogenim opasnostima. Sveobuhvatna analiza obuhvata nuklearne i radiološke katastrofe, industrijske nesreće, katastrofe u vezi sa transportom i infrastrukturom, incidente sa opasnim materijama, kao i posledice ratnih razaranja. Analiza se proširuje na katastrofe izazvane požarima i onima pokrenutim upotrebom oružja za masovno uništavanje, uključujući hemijski, biološki, nuklearni i radiološki terorizam. Na kraju, treća grupacija radova ističe inovacije u oblasti pripreme, ublažavanja, odgovora i oporavka od katastrofa izazvanih i prirodnim i antropogenim opasnostima. Ovaj deo predstavlja proaktivne inicijative i nove pristupe koji doprinose evoluciji studija o katastrofama. Fokusiranjem na inovacije, nadamo se da ćemo inspirisati nove perspektive i metodologije koje mogu dodatno unaprediti našu sposobnost zaštite zajednica pred izazovima.
