Resumen:

Case studies, such as the multi-year droughts and wildfires in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico and the intense precipitation and flooding disasters in southern Mexico, illustrate the impacts of repeat events in identified disaster-prone areas. A geophysical perspective indicates that there are a range of tools available, including Earth satellite observation systems, instrumental networks, geophysical observatories, geographic information systems and high-resolution aerial, marine and ground-based geophysical methods. These tools coupled with improved understanding of phenomena, higher computational capacity, risk analysis, databases and numerical simulations provide a scientific-technical framework for developing improved monitoring and response strategies. © Cambridge University Press 2018.
