The future of accessibility in disaster conditions
Introduction to Emergency Management
Emergency management university programs have experienced dramatic and exponential growth over the last twelve years. This new, fully updated edition introduces majors and minors to the field and provides content accessible to those students taking introductory emergency management courses. The book’s student-centered focus looks at the regional, state, and local level response, as well as some of the often misunderstood or overlooked social aspe…
Qualitative Disaster Research
Research that occurs in the context of emergencies and disasters requires attention to challenging contexts and circumstances. This book walks readers through the ways in which those contexts can be managed to produce careful, rigorous, and scholarly work. Each chapter provides an overview of approaches, methods, and techniques with illustrations from established disaster studies. Step-by-step instructions outline ways to gather, analyze, and wri…
Social Vulnerability to Disasters
The 2010 Haiti and Chili earthquakes, the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and the 2011 Fukushima earthquake and tsunami in Japan are but a few examples of recent catastrophic events that continue to reveal how social structure and roles produce extensive human suffering and differential impacts on individuals and communities. These events
Freedom Hill Is Not for Sale—and Neither Is the Lower Ninth Ward
In 1999, a series of flood and rain events inundated Princeville, North Carolina. This historic community, the first town in the United States founded by African Americans, chose to stay in place rather than to relocate. This article presents the relocation decision within the contexts of history, place attachment, and community connections. Interview, observation, and documentary data reveal themes that led to the decision to remain in place. A …

Disaster Recovery
Disaster recovery is often unplanned for in the emergency management life cycle. Yet recovery is the key stage where funds, programs, professional expertise, and volunteer efforts are applied to affected cities, states, and regions to get them up and running again. Providing a unique perspective on a highly focused area, Disaster Recovery is the fi
Social Vulnerability to Disasters
In recent years, the world has watched in horror as tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes have wrought havoc across countries and continents. While these events have different circumstances, they share a common factor: the overwhelming majority of victims are women, children, elderly, disadvantaged, or disabled. Evidence gathered from these events
Mass fatality management after the Indian Ocean tsunami
Purpose This study aims to conduct the first original research on mass fatality management in nearly 30 years. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative research design captured local perspectives within a culturally‐appropriate context to examine roles and responsibilities of government officials within the State of Tamil Nadu and District of Naggapattinam (spellings reflect the most commonly‐used local choice), India. Research data were gathere…
Disaster threat
For a community to manage hazards successfully, those who are responsible for planning and implementing responses to a disaster threat situation must understand the social and economic realities of populations at risk. A random sample survey of residents in the vicinity of a US Army chemical weapons storage depot in Alabama confirms that those in the lowest quartile of household income (i.e., less than US $25,000 in 1999) differ in important ways…
Creating, Sustaining, and Losing Place
Effective Emergency Management
The command and control approach is compared with the Emergent Human Resources Model (EHRM) approach to emergency management. Four decades of systematic research shows that a rigid, bureaucratic command and control approach to emergency management generally leads to an ineffective emergency response. Previous studies and our own research suggest that flexible, malleable, loosely coupled, organizational configurations can create a more effective d…
Eyes on the Prize
Teaching about Family Violence to an At-Risk Population
Sensitive subjects such as rape, disasters, nuclear war, divorce, the Vietnam war, and family violence often produce student reactions for which the teaching sociologist is not prepared. This lack of preparation is exacerbated by students' experiences of living in a society at risk. The fear of nuclear war, for example, is a common concern of students, one which they face daily. Too often we skim over sensitive topics emphasizing theory and ignor…

An Examination of Emergent Norms and Emergent Social Structures in Collective Behavior Situations
Although the emergent norm, emergent social structure perspective has been lauded for studying collective behavior, the perspective has not been put to empirical use. In this paper, we use the emergent norm, emergent social structure perspective to describe and analyze collective behavior incidents. These incidents were precipitated by traveling evangelical preachers at a large midwestern university. Data were gathered for this study through syst…
