Abstract

This book is based on empirical research about the Lake Nyos Disaster, and examines contemporary challenges within natural hazards/disaster risk, vulnerability, resettlement, risk perception, disaster management and relocation decisions in Cameroon. It brings the ramifications of the LND to the fore, analysing not only the continuing social vulnerabilities/risks in the affected populations, but also ongoing eff orts to rehabilitate the affected area. This treatise is further enriched by theoretical concepts/ models in disasters along with an analysis that integrates the results/findings with the theories that underpin them. Based on the research results, the author has produced a new disaster model that informs Relocation Decisions.
