Outmatched by Disaster? Recovery-Based Learning and Training Competencies for Planners
Planner involvement in disaster recovery provides valuable opportunities to apply planning tools and knowledge that enhance community resilience. We interviewed professionals experienced in disaster recovery to identify essential knowledge planners need for improved engagement and leadership in disaster recovery operations. This article describes the continuing challenges of disaster recovery faced by planners and highlights educational opportuni…
Integrating interdisciplinary thinking and education in graduate disaster research curricula
Natural hazard and disaster resilience research requires a multidisciplinary approach to address the complexities of risk mitigation and recovery for vulnerable communities. To this end, an interdisciplinary course was developed, with faculty from civil engineering, urban planning, and anthropology. The course aimed to deepen students' understanding of coastal hazard risks and to equip them with an understanding of interdisciplinary and community…
Planning for Disaster Recovery
Scholars and practitioners have long called for more planning leadership in community disaster recovery. Yet, how planners perceive themselves in disaster recovery, understand recovery processes, and participate in recovery activities remains relatively unknown. A survey of APA members found that improvements are needed for the planning field to meet increasing societal disaster needs. Few respondents have participated in pre- or postdisaster rec…
Volunteer motivations in civilian volunteer search and rescue organizations
Most scholarship on volunteer motivation examines everyday scenarios rather than disaster or emergency contexts. Environmental hazards and their devastating social impacts continue to grow in severity and frequency, creating an increased opportunity for disaster-related volunteerism. Disaster volunteerism diverges from traditional volunteerism in location, timing, activities, and risk. Thus, examining what motivates people to volunteer during dis…
Placemaking mediating dilemmas by addressing the gaps in post-disaster recovery process
Disasters create spatial, temporal and social gaps as people are displaced into temporary or interim situations. During this time affected people often experience the dilemma of prolonged uncertainty about the future, as well as the loss of connections with other persons that had existed and been built through shared time and space. This research hypothesizes that the process of placemaking which involves strengthening social capital of local res…
Social Capital Theory and Quantitative Approaches in Measurements
Disaster recovery depends heavily on the support of social networks and the resources they can generate. Yet such support is difficult to measure and assess. This paper reviews existing quantitative approaches to measure social capital within a disaster context. The article addresses (1) how is social capital conceptualized in the disaster literature? and (2) what social capital measures have been used based on existing conceptual frameworks (e.g…

Modeling Long-Term Housing Recovery after Technological Disaster Using a Virtual Audit with Repeated Photography
Many communities face risks of technological disasters at fertilizer plants and other facilities. Understanding damage and rebuilding of housing supports planners in implementing policies that will enable recovery. Using repeat photography, this study audited housing rebuilding in West, Texas for three years following an explosion. Photos were combined with appraisal data to understand variation in rebuilding across parcels. Results indicate that…
Women's experiences across disasters
Gender, although gaining attention, remains under-researched in disaster risk reduction protocols and response and recovery efforts. This study examines women's experiences of two disasters in small towns in the United States, utilising qualitative interviews with residents of Granbury and West, Texas, during the first year of disaster recovery. Granbury was struck by an EF-4 tornado on 15 May 2013, whereas an explosion occurred at a local fertil…

Frame Decoupling for Organizational Change
Using qualitative research in one organization that undertook green building, we examine the processes that occur to foster support for a new initiative among people with diverse values and perceptions. We found that framing was particularly important, but framing contests occurred due to variation in how individuals cognitively connected different frames together. To overcome these contests, the organization used an interactive process we define…
Rethinking Disaster Recovery
Social Capital and Community Resilience
Despite the ubiquity of disaster and the increasing toll in human lives and financial costs, much research and policy remain focused on physical infrastructure-centered approaches to such events. Governmental organizations such as the Department of Homeland Security, United States Federal Emergency Management Agency, United States Agency for International Development, and United Kingdom's Department for International Development continue to spend…
