Produktinformationen zu „Long-Term Community Recovery from Natural Disasters (PDF)“
After a natural disaster, rebuilding the physical artifact of the community is necessary, but not alone sufficient for long-term community recovery. This book addresses the need to understand how communities develop and/or decay after an extreme natural hazard event. It focuses on how these events disrupt "normal" development and change defining which parts of the community have to become reestablished, or made more functional, so that the community can achieve long-term viability. The combined practical and philosophical insight presented in this book will be valuable to not only to policy makers but to scholars as well.
Autoren-Porträt von Lucy A. Arendt, Daniel J Alesch
A professor of management, Lucy A. Arendt's research into planning and decision making spans more than two decades. Her interest in decision making in the wake of extreme natural hazard events led to a conviction that the best way to facilitate recovery is to engage in pre-disaster planning that engages a diversity of stakeholders and that builds collective efficacy and yields action intended to mitigate the consequences of disaster. This book integrates her thinking and research on human action and inaction when faced with the devastating consequences that result from the collision of extreme natural hazard events and human decisions.A former senior social scientist with RAND, where he focused on urban phenomena, and, more recently, as a professor of public administration and planning, Daniel J. Alesch has become a seasoned, skilled student and analyst of disasters, disaster recovery, and disaster mitigation strategies and policies. In this book, he brings what he has learned over more than three decades of field experience, including multi-year analyses of each of more than two-dozen communities as they struggled with the immediate and long term consequences of an extreme natural hazard event.
