Edited by Daniel A. Farber, Sho Sato Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley, US and Michael Faure, Professor, Maastricht University and Erasmus School of Law, the Netherlands and Chairman of the Flemish High Council of Environmental Enforcement (VHRM), Brussels, Belgium‘Disaster Law <i>is a compilation of seminal articles that explore the economic and policy issues that must be addressed by the law and by lawmakers grappling with the problem of disasters. . . This book provides a collection of some of the most noteworthy contributions to this field. The editors, Dan Farber and Michael Faure, seek to help us think more about what the law should be than about what it actually is. . . The pressure for reform of disaster law is growing. . . We can only hope that the policy debate to come will be informed by the understanding provided by reference works such as disaster law.’</i>

<i>‘By bringing together these groundbreaking papers on legal issues of disasters, Farber and Faure construe a proper research domain of “disaster law”. They convincingly juxtapose disaster prevention, mitigation, response, compensation and insurance. As a result, the editors show the intricate relationship between legal issues that were usually left isolated in the past.’</i>
