Book Synopsis Disaster Vulnerability, Hazards and Resilience by : Fernando I. Rivera
Download or read book Disaster Vulnerability, Hazards and Resilience written by Fernando I. Rivera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph provides valuable lessons in building disaster resilience for rural communities and beyond. With a focus on Florida, the authors present a comprehensive review of the current debates surrounding the study of resilience, from federal frameworks, state plans and local initiatives. They also review evaluation tools and feature first-hand accounts of county emergency managers as well as non-profit and community groups on key issues, including perspectives on vulnerable groups such as the elderly, children and farm workers. Readers will find insightful answers to such questions as: How can the concept of resilience be used as a framework to investigate the conditions that lead to stronger, more sustainable communities? What factors account for the variation across jurisdictions and geographic units in the ability to respond to and recover from a disaster? How does the recovery process impact the social, political and economic institutions of the stricken communities? How do communities, especially rural ones, collaborate with multiple stakeholders (local, regional, state, national) during the transition from recovery to resilience? Can the collaborative nature of disaster recovery help build resilient communities?. The primary audiences of this book are scholars in emergency and crisis management, planning and policy, disaster response and recovery, disaster sociology and environmental management and policy. This book can also be used as a textbook in graduate and advanced undergraduate programs / courses on disaster management, disaster studies, emergency and crisis management, environmental policy and management and public policy and administration.

Book Synopsis Exploring Public Perceptions of the Recovery Response as a Result of Hurricane Michael's Landfall by : David Wiley Lovett

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hurricanes remain among the most frequent and costliest natural disasters to impact the United States both in terms of loss of property and life (Rudden, 2022; NOAA, 2021a; NOAA, 2022a, 2022b, 2022c). Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria brought renewed attention to the subject of disaster recovery as they collectively cost the nation over $373 billion dollars in damage and over 3,200 lives lost in the 2017 hurricane season (NOAA, 2022a, 2022b; Reguero et al., 2018; USNHC, 2018). Property and lives are at most risk during the first 72 hours following a major hurricane (Col, 2007; Kohn et al., 2012; Dourandish, Zumel, & Manno, 2007; Harris et al., 2018). While previous research focuses on communities’ long-term recovery, limited data has been collected involving the roles of government in immediate recovery efforts. Major hurricanes become a focal point in the lives of those affected, and through these events they shape public expectations, assessments, and attitudes toward government leadership (Darr, Cate, and Moak, 2019). The qualitative study solicited the perceptions and opinions of the survivors of Hurricane Michael in Bay County, Florida to expose previously unknown phenomena related to the storm’s effects on the community and its work towards recovery. Recommendations to shorten immediate recovery time include continuous pre-storm collaborative planning, pre-storm public education campaign, improvements in communication, increase in personnel, and linear research into immediate recovery.

Book Synopsis Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. 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.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting on September 3, 2004, four major hurricanes raked Florida within a period of six weeks. In their wake, estimates of damages to agriculture and allied industries, including crop losses and program funding needs, totaled $2.156 billion. Before the remnants of Hurricane Ivan cleared the state, the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) saw the necessity to respond more aggresssively to the needs of the state and Florida's agricultural and natural resource industries, both for the immediate and for the future. IFAS personnel are uniquely positioned in all areas of the state with key Extension personnel assigned in each county. A Hurricane Recovery Task Force was formed to strategize ways to more effectively help those in need, and included UF/IFAS faculty and staff experts for every agricultural commodity in the state as well as related infrastructure and support industries, natural resources, and the environment. The Task Force's mission was to inventory immediate response during the next six months, and develop long-term strategies for dealing with these and future hurricanes or disasters, both natural and man-made. Key UF/IFAS faculty served as lead persons to develop reports and continuing recommendations for commodities and other program areas important to UF/IFAS. By mid-October, 2004, each leader had provided a report to accommodate the following objectives: Situation assessment, Immediate response, Long-term response, and Implementation/delivery methods. This publication includes these reports.

Book Synopsis The Politics of Disaster by : David K Twigg
Download or read book The Politics of Disaster written by David K Twigg and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] careful, nuanced approach in examining the effects of a hurricane on a region’s electoral politics at all levels of government, including localities sometimes neglected by American political science but central to disaster politics."--Political Science Quarterly "Twigg has thoroughly researched. . . . [and] assembled an impressive array of facts by pouring through scholarly documents, books, and back issues of magazines."--Florida Historical Quarterly "A rigorous study of disaster's impact on elected local and state political officials, on their electoral fortunes or misfortunes, and on the local political fabric of impacted jurisdictions."--Richard T. Sylves, George Washington University "A significant contribution to the field of disaster studies."--Naim Kapucu, University of Central Florida From earthquakes to tornados, elected officials' responses to natural disasters can leave an indelible mark on their political careers. In the midst of the 1992 primary season, Hurricane Andrew overwhelmed South Florida, requiring local, state, and federal emergency responses. The work of many politicians in the storm's immediate aftermath led to a curious "incumbency advantage" in the general election a few weeks later, raising the question of just how much the disaster provided opportunities to effectively "campaign without campaigning." David Twigg uses newspaper stories, scholarly articles, and first person interviews to explore the impact of Hurricane Andrew on local and state political incumbents, revealing how elected officials adjusted their strategies and activities in the wake of the disaster. Not only did Andrew give them a legitimate and necessary opportunity to enhance their constituency service and associate themselves with the flow of external assistance, but it also allowed them to achieve significant personal visibility and media coverage while appearing to be non-political or above "normal" politics. This engrossing case study clearly demonstrates why natural disasters often privilege incumbents. Twigg not only sifts through the post-Andrew election results in Florida, but he also points out the possible effects of other past (and future) disaster events on political campaigns in this fascinating and prescient book.
