Compounding Disasters and Ethical Leadership
Disasters are complex and dynamic events that test even the most ethical leaders at all levels of government. During 2020, communities throughout the United States experienced compounding disasters that challenged not only leaders, but response and recovery plans and policies. This study examines ethical leadership during compounding disasters in two cities—Lafayette, LA and Dallas, TX. The Lafayette case study involves the COVID-19 pandemic, hom…
Inequity after death
As of March 2021, the United States had nearly 1 million COVID‐19 deaths. To aid families, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) established the Funeral Assistance Program. Using publicly available data, we examine the equitable utilization of FEMA's COVID‐19 Funeral Assistance Program funding. Results show a significant relationship between FEMA COVID‐19 Funeral Assistance Program funding and some, but not all, social vulnerability comp…
When Deaths Are Dehumanized
The COVID-19 pandemic, which is still gripping the world, brought death front and center into many people’s lives. In the United States, however, some of the deaths were treated as “more tragic” than others given someone’s economic use value coupled with dehumanizing language.

Using data gathered from 2,008 individuals employed in the United States, the results revealed that individuals are significantly more likely to rely on friends and family than government organizations at the local, state, and federal level. The findings also suggest that this …
Temporal stability and changes in risk perception rankings of hazardous activities and technologies
Researchers have extensively studied risk perceptions of hazardous activities and technologies to better understand how to analyze risk to inform and improve risk communications and risk management policy-making in various facets of society. Despite the existence of such studies, there is limited research on how stable or different risk perceptions of various activities and technologies are across time. A better understanding of the temporal aspe…
Variations in public and private employees’ perceptions of organizational preparedness for natural disasters
Studies have demonstrated that public and private organizations differ in many respects (e.g. funding mechanisms and risk-taking capabilities). Based on this scholarship, we expect to see differences in their disaster preparedness levels. Hence, we propose the following research question: Are there variations in public and private employees’ perceptions of organizational preparedness for natural disasters? We answer this question by employing the…
