ADRS-COVID 2020 : Annals of Disaster Risk Sciences - Special edition on the COVID-19 pandemic

Crisis management skills and knowledge are more important than ever in a world struck by the COVID-19 pandemic. The disease has affected societies and communities on a local, regional, national and international levels. It has disrupted international relations and ushered an era of global recession and economic uncertainty. All segments of social activities are in some way affected by the measures for combating the spread of the infection. Healthcare systems, defence and security, public administration, education, tourism, production and trade, culture, science and other areas face unique challenges.

Much is expected from the scientific community, not only in the immediate fight against the virus, but in all aspects of life. With that in mind, we issue this call for papers to researchers and professionals. We invite you to submit your manuscripts for the special edition of the journal Annals of Disaster Risk Sciences dedicated to crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic.
