Examining Vulnerability to Natural Disasters
This chapter examines the political and economic construction of vulnerability, applying insights gained from third-world research to a first-world setting. Defining vulnerability in terms of people’s capacity to avoid, cope with, and recover from disasters draws attention to their living conditions, social and economic resources, livelihood patterns, and social power. While physical exposure to risk is a necessary element in vulnerability, it is…
The Northridge Earthquake
This book provides a global view of the social effects of disaster in developed and developing countries. It focuses on the 1994 Northridge Earthquake in the US and other recent disasters to examine vulnerability and post-disaster recovery strategies. The authors also explore the ways state policy can reduce vulnerability in the future
The Northridge Earthquake
The Northridge Earthquake
The 1994 Northridge, California earthquake has proven to be one of the most costly disasters in United States history. Federal and state assistance programmes received some 681,000 applications from victims for various forms of relief. In spite of the flow of US$11 billion in federal assistance into Los Angeles and Ventura counties, many victims have failed to obtain adequate relief. These unmet needs relate to the vulnerability of particular cla…
Environmental Disasters in Global Perspective
Shelter, Housing and Recovery
In this paper we examine the issues associated with the temporary sheltering and housing of victims after natural disasters in the United States. Specific topics addressed include differential access to shelter and housing aid according to social class, ethnicity and related demographic factors; the relationship between post‐disaster shelter and housing and long‐term recovery; the role of social support networks in the sheltering of victims; and …
Belief in an Afterlife
This article presents an exploratory analysis of factors affecting belief in an afterlife. Data are taken from the 1978 subfile on the National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey. With belief in life after death serving as the dependent variable, a number of variables are introduced in a tabular analysis. Among factors found to be statistically significant are sex, race, age, marital status, and several religious and residential vari…
Impacts of Hazardous Technology
This book presents an evaluation of the psycho-social impacts of hazardous technology. Using a multiple research strategy, the authors show the possible effects of restarting the undamaged reactor at Three Mile Island. The book includes background information concerning environmental policy, the accident and restart issues, and forecasted impacts and implications for environmental management. The topic, however, extends well beyond that of TMI an…
Disasters and Long‐term Recovery Policy
Long‐term recovery is a policy issue which is receiving increased attention in the disaster research literature. Here the problems of housing snd family recovery are considered. While present programs exist to address housing and family recovery, the prevailing emphasis upon rapid return to the status quoante tends to obscure the problems of victim mental health, equitable d is tribution of recovery funds, and social‐psychological dimension of ho…
Sociobiology and Paradigms in Evolutionary Theory
Race, religion, and ethnicity in disaster recovery
This study grows out of work that each of the authors have previously done on the dynamics, in various social contexts, of family recovery from disasters.In those earlier studies, the importance of ethnicity and race was left largely unexplored.Our previous research did note the importance of culture, age, and social class as determinants of patterns of aid utilization.To that mix of social variables we now add race and ethnicity (and/or religiou…
