Book excerpt: The research aim was to examine differences in housing needs during disasters according to homeownership type by examining unmet housing needs in Texas during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. This dissertation includes: (1) literature review regarding differences in housing needs by housing tenure normally and during disaster phases; (2) decision-making models and methods to handle incomplete tertiary data; (3) patterns of unmet housing need differing through disaster phases; and (4) factors determining likelihood of unmet housing needs for renters vs. owners before, during, and after Hurricanes Katrina−Rita. The longitudinal and logistic analyses used "real-time" reports of unmet housing needs logged in Texas' 2-1-1 dataset covering all 254 counties during 8/1-12/31/2005. First, previous research has shown that renters faced greater housing struggles than homeowners due to their limited resources in phases spanning from prior to a disaster to post-disaster recovery. Second, a systematic algorithm was developed to solve missing data problems in merging multiple tertiary datasets. This method would enhance opportunities to employ tertiary data for research and management studies, at the same time increasing the validity of the findings for more appropriate planning and policies. Third, in this study during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, unmet housing needs were mostly financial issues for rental housing. The volume of unmet rental housing needs rose one week after each hurricane's landfall compared to homeowner's unmet needs rising in early recovery. Unmet shelter needs peaked during the immediate disaster response but extended beyond typical hurricane emergency periods. Fourth, greater affordability constraints were significantly associated with greater likelihood of rental needs prior to and during disaster emergency phases but not during recovery; however, greater affordability constraints increased the likelihood of homeowner needs only during normal phase prior to the disasters. Less availability of housing was strongly associated with greater likelihood of housing needs for both renters and homeowners. Housing quality was not associated with unmet needs when controlling for availability, affordability and disaster location. Overall, this research showed empirical evidence that policymakers need to consider developing different strategies and programs based on various types of housing needs according to homeownership type by disaster phase.

Book excerpt: Post-disaster housing concerns and dilemmas are complex, global in nature, and are inextricably intertwined with social, economic, and political considerations. The multi-faceted nature of housing recovery requires a holistic approach that accounts for its numerous dimensions and contours that are best captured with multi-disciplinary, multi-scalar, and multi-hazard approaches. This book serves as a valuable resource by highlighting the key issues and challenges that need to be addressed with regard to post-disaster housing. By featuring a collection of case studies on various disasters that have occurred globally and written by scholars and practitioners from various disciplines, it highlights the rich diversity of approaches taken to solve post-disaster housing problems.

This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the devastation that follows a major disaster, there is a need for multiple sectors to unite and devote new resources to support the rebuilding of infrastructure, the provision of health and social services, the restoration of care delivery systems, and other critical recovery needs. In some cases, billions of dollars from public, private and charitable sources are invested to help communities recover. National rhetoric often characterizes these efforts as a "return to normal." But for many American communities, pre-disaster conditions are far from optimal. Large segments of the U.S. population suffer from preventable health problems, experience inequitable access to services, and rely on overburdened health systems. A return to pre-event conditions in such cases may be short-sighted given the high costs - both economic and social - of poor health. Instead, it is important to understand that the disaster recovery process offers a series of unique and valuable opportunities to improve on the status quo. Capitalizing on these opportunities can advance the long-term health, resilience, and sustainability of communities - thereby better preparing them for future challenges. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters identifies and recommends recovery practices and novel programs most likely to impact overall community public health and contribute to resiliency for future incidents. This book makes the case that disaster recovery should be guided by a healthy community vision, where health considerations are integrated into all aspects of recovery planning before and after a disaster, and funding streams are leveraged in a coordinated manner and applied to health improvement priorities in order to meet human recovery needs and create healthy built and natural environments. The conceptual framework presented in Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters lays the groundwork to achieve this goal and provides operational guidance for multiple sectors involved in community planning and disaster recovery. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters calls for actions at multiple levels to facilitate recovery strategies that optimize community health. With a shared healthy community vision, strategic planning that prioritizes health, and coordinated implementation, disaster recovery can result in a communities that are healthier, more livable places for current and future generations to grow and thrive - communities that are better prepared for future adversities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Urban Disaster Resilience emphasizes the intersection of urban planning and hazard mitigation as critical for community resilience, considering the interaction of social, environmental, and physical systems with disasters. The Handbook introduces and discusses the phases of disaster – mitigation, preparedness/response, and recovery – as well as each of the federal, state, and local players that address these phases from a planning and policy perspective. Part I provides an overview of hazard vulnerability that begins with an explanation of what it means to be vulnerable to hazards, especially for socially vulnerable population segments. Part II discusses the politics of hazard mitigation; the failures of smart growth placed in hazardous areas; the wide range of land development policies and their associated risk; the connection between hazards and climate adaptation; and the role of structural and non-structural mitigation in planning for disasters. Part III covers emergency preparedness and response planning, the unmet needs people experience and community service planning; evacuation planning; and increasing community capacity and emergency response in developing countries. Part IV addresses recovery from and adaption to disasters, with topics such as the National Disaster Recovery Framework, long-term housing recovery; population displacement; business recovery; and designs in disasters. Finally, Part V demonstrates how disaster research is interpreted in practice – how to incorporate mitigation into the comprehensive planning process; how states respond to recovery; how cities undertake recovery planning; and how to effectively engage the whole community in disaster planning. The Routledge Handbook of Urban Disaster Resilience offers the most authoritative and comprehensive coverage of cutting-edge research at the intersection of urban planning and disasters from a U.S. perspective. This book serves as an invaluable guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students, future professionals, and practitioners interested in urban planning, sustainability, development response planning, emergency planning, recovery planning, hazard mitigation planning, land use planning, housing and community development as well as urban sociology, sociology of the community, public administration, homeland security, climate change, and related fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whenever a major earthquake strikes or a hurricane unleashes its fury, the devastating results fill our television screens and newspapers. Mary C. Comerio is interested in what happens in the weeks and months after such disasters, particularly in the recovery of damaged housing. Through case studies of six recent urban disasters—Hurricane Hugo in South Carolina, Hurricane Andrew in Florida, the Loma Prieta and Northridge earthquakes in California, as well as earthquakes in Mexico City and Kobe, Japan—Comerio demonstrates that several fundamental factors have changed in contemporary urban disasters. The foremost change is in scale, and as more Americans move to the two coasts, future losses will continue to be formidable because of increased development in these high-hazard areas. Moreover, the visibility of disasters in the news media will assure that response efforts remain highly politicized. And finally, the federal government is now expected to be on the scene with personnel, programs, and financial assistance even as private insurance companies are withdrawing disaster coverage from homeowners in earthquake- and hurricane-prone regions. Demonstrating ways that existing recovery systems are inadequate, Comerio proposes a rethinking of what recovery means, a comprehensive revision of the government's role, and more equitable programs for construction financing. She offers new criteria for a housing recovery policy as well as real financial incentives for preparedness, for limiting damage before disasters occur, and for providing a climate where private insurance can work. Her careful analysis makes this book important reading for policymakers, property owners, and anyone involved in disaster mitigation.

Book excerpt: Disaster management in the United States has always been in response of particular disasters. Recovery which is one of the phases of disaster management has been very difficult to manage in the aftermath of disasters. Every once in a while disasters occur and local governments are supposed to respond and help victims recover. Sheltering and housing of displaced victims happen to be one of the key components of the recovery phase of disaster management. This research is aimed at finding the problems involved in the implementation of recovery programs and help improve upon delivery. The federal government management acting through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) continues to urge States and county governments to set higher standards to help victims recover in the aftermath of disasters. All disasters are local. Establishing emergency shelters is generally a well-rehearsed effort that unfolds smoothly at the local level as emergency management officials and non-governmental organizations execute their emergency plans. Current practices in disaster housing vary based on the nature and scope of a disaster and can range from providing short-term shelters to arranging temporary and in some cases, permanent housing. These challenges are exacerbated when impacted victims are displaced from their homes for longer periods of time and temporary housing must be provided. Meeting housing demands in normal times are difficult to meet but it is even more challenging when resources are stretched thin and demands become greater. An exploratory case study research was conducted in all 88 counties in the State of Ohio. The research population consisted of all 88 county directors of emergency management agencies. This research was designed to explore the challenges involved in the implementation of recovery and disaster housing programs in the aftermath of disasters. Using the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) county directors were asked to recall and retell their experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Displacement has traditionally been conceptualized as a phenomenon that results from conflict or other disruptions in developing or unstable countries. Hurricane Katrina shattered this notion and highlighted the various dilemmas of population displacement in the United States. The dilemmas stem from that of inconsistent terminology and definitions; lack of efforts to quantify displacement risk potential and that factor displacement vulnerability into community plans; lack of understanding of differential needs of "displacees" especially during long-term recovery periods; and policy and institutional responses (or lack thereof) especially as it relates to post-disaster sheltering and housing. Incorporating relevant examples, cases, and policies Esnard and Sapat look at the experience of other countries and how the international community has dealt with hundreds of thousands of individuals who have been forced to leave their homes. Displaced by Disaster addresses such issues from a planning and policy perspective informed by scholarship in disciplines such as emergency management; political science; sociology and anthropology. It is ideal for students and practitioners working in the areas of disaster management, planning, public administration and policy, housing, and the many disciplines connected to disaster issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Hurricane Katrina, many lessons have been learned about the importance of disaster preparedness planning and the impact of such planning on permanent residential housing recovery. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development continues to explore new strategies for supporting state and local governments as they prepare and plan for disasters. In cooperation with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Disaster Housing Task Force, we continue to address the temporary, interim, and permanent housing challenges that communities confront in a post-disaster environment. The content is presented in four short volumes. The first volume provides an overview of the permanent housing options, which include manufactured, modular, panelized, and site-built housing. The second volume provides a summary of the national disaster housing strategy, and describes a straightforward planning approach for estimating potential losses and expediting rebuilding. The third volume presents the House Capacity Calculator, which is an easy-to-use application that estimates required rebuilding time based on available house production capacity. The fourth volume describes the basic plant design requirements for manufactured, modular, and panelized housing.
