Call for reviewers - International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment
The co-editors of the International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment (IJDRBE), Professor Dilanthi Amaratunga and Dr Richard Haigh, invite reviewers to review articles for their journal.
IJDRBE examines the role of the built environment in reconstructing, rehabilitating and mitigating the effects of disasters. The journal develops the skills and knowledge the built environment industry needs to help us understand how the built environment directly impacts the effects of disasters. For more information and details on the full coverage of IJDRBE please visit the journal website: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/ijdrbe.htm.
Reviewers with expertise in any fields related to disaster risk reduction and reconstruction are welcomed. However, there is an urgent need for reviewer expertise in the following areas:
• Seismic engineering
• Law and regulatory frameworks
• Retrofitting
• Damage assessment
• Floods
• Risk analysis
• Shelter
• Environmental impact assessment
