Synopsis
Disaster Policy and Politics combines evidence-based research with mini-case studies of recent events to demonstrate the fundamental principles of emergency management and to explore the impact that disasters have had on U.S. policy., Disaster Policy and Politics combines evidence-based research with mini-case studies of recent events to demonstrate the fundamental principles of emergency management and to explore the impact that disasters have had on U.S. policy. Paying special attention to the role of key actors--decision makers at the federal, state, and local levels; scientists; engineers; civil and military personnel; and first responders--author Richard Sylves explores how researchers contribute to and engage in disaster policy development and management. The highly anticipated Third Edition explores the radical change in policy and politics after the occurrence of recent disasters such as hurricanes Irma, Maria, and Harvey; Hawaiis false nuclear attack warning; and responses to U.S. wildfires. The book's comprehensive "all-hazards" approach introduces students to the important public policy, organizational management, and leadership issues they may need as future practitioners and leaders in the field.

- k***e (862)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem is exactly as described. Seller shipped immediately but it was somewhat delayed by USPS. Not the sellers fault. The only issue was the packaging was not well done. Although wrapped in bubble wrap which did protect the pan, the box was too big and when it arrived I was concerned there would be damage. The box looked like it had battled with Mike Tyson and lost. Fortunately there was no damage.
