A wide range of natural hazards pose major risks to the lives and livelihoods of large populations around the world. Man-made disasters, caused by technological failures (industrial accidents, spillages, explosions and fires),compound the threat. In the post-9/11 context, security threats based on violence (terrorism, insurgency, and civil strife) have attracted much of government’s attention and public resources. The scale, frequency, and intensity of disasters and crises have dramatically increased over the last decade. Failures of disaster and crises response prompt a critical need for a careful stocktaking. What have we learned? What has changed in the management of disasters and crises? What do we know about the causes, patterns, and consequences of these events? This book offers a “sampler” of issues and approaches that can be used for empirical examination of disaster and crisis management practices. It contributes to the literature on crisis management, disaster management, social sciences, policy and planning. The volume introduces approaches that are applicable to a variety of circumstances in the U.S. and in other countries; it offers ways to think through policy interventions and governance mechanisms that may enhance societal resilience.
