Extraordinary Federal emergency assistance has shifted a large portion of the burden of the 2005 floods to the rest of society, relieving financial stress in the disaster-stricken region but raising serious questions about the incentives for subnational governments to implement costly but efficient disaster avoidance policies in the future. The Federal government cannot credibly commit not to insure losses from future disasters, nor can it efficiently assume responsibility for land use, economic development, and other state and local government policies that affect disaster risk. Mandatory disaster reserves provide an alternative policy option through which actuarially fair Federal insurance could credibly strengthen the incentives for efficient subnational government disaster policies.

Content Type: Journal Article Journal Article Availability: Full Text Online Preview Journal Article Preventing Disaster Author: Gilbert Burnham Abstract The past 16 months have seen major disasters in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Hundreds of thousands of people have died and millions have had their lives changed forever. Some attention has focused on a possible increase in the frequency of natural and man-made hazards that are responsible for these disasters. At the heart of these disasters was the failure to develop effective national disaster management capacity -- the capacity to plan and prepare for response, to coordinate assistance, to develop policies on reconstruction, and to confront the vulnerabilities of the population. Responding to specific disasters by providing hand-to-mouth help is not the best way to help countries suffering from the effects of a natural disaster. Creating a standing fund to draw from to meet disaster needs immediately, sidestepping the present flash appeal process, could speed relief and make for more effective intervention.

Content Type: Journal Article Journal Article Availability: Full Text Online Preview Journal Article An overview on disasters Author: Ibrahim Mohamed Shaluf Abstract Purpose This paper seeks to provide graduate students, researchers, and government and independent agencies with an overview of disasters. Design/methodology/approach Disasters have been the subject of research and a source of concern to academicians and government and independent agencies. In this paper disaster types are collected from several sources such as technical, general articles, internet web sites, and internal reports. Disaster types, definitions, hazards and mitigations are reviewed. Disasters are classified into natural disasters, man-made disasters, and hybrid disasters. Man-made disasters are classified into technological disasters, transportation accidents, public places failure, and production failure. Natural and/or man-made disasters sometimes lead to subsequent disasters. Findings Disasters are classified into three types: natural, man-made, and hybrid disasters. It is believed that the three disaster types cover all disastrous events. Disasters have different characteristics and impacts; however, disasters have a common element, which is their severity. Natural disasters are those disasters that result from natural forces. Man-made disasters are those disasters that result from human decisions. Hybrid disasters are those disasters that result from both natural and man-made causes. Subsequent disasters are those disasters that result from natural and/or man-made disasters. Epidemics could be a disaster or a subsequent disaster. Originality/value This paper presents the types, definition, hazards, and mitigation of disasters. Disasters are arranged into disaster types, sub-disasters, and disastrous events in the form of a disaster tree. An algorithm can be written utilizing this disaster tree. The algorithm can be used for training purposes to prevent or reduce disasters.

The latest tsunamis, typhoons and earthquakes are tragic reminders of how vulnerable some human settlements are, and underline the importance of integrating disaster risk into development practices. As relief efforts ramp up, learning lessons from past disaster responses is useful. Many of these lessons have been brought together at www.oecd.org/dac. Some simple steps can avoid the pitfalls, including: 1. Assess real needs. 2. Remember the power of information. 3. As aid and relief workers know, prevention counts too. 4. Keep learning so as to improve humanitarian and development assistance. Publication Title Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.

When asked, if they could locate their disaster recovery plan in the next five minutes?, one-third of the 227 respondents admitted they couldn't. Of 281 IT pros asked how often they perform remote-office data backups, only 58% said they were doing so every day. With all the risks to manage in the world today, from natural disasters to man-made ones, you'd think this little item would be at the top of the "Important Things We Do to Stay in Business" list. Disaster recovery is one test that IT can ace - without big budgets or expensive consultants. It's a matter of common-sense planning, attention to process and doing your disaster homework.

Roberts, an assistant professor of public administration at Virginia Tech, warns that the "fixation on the White House badly distorts the way America thinks about and prepares for major disasters." Agencies such as the Federal Gvil Defense Administration were created to help the country in case of nuclear war, but, in part thanks to pressure from state and local governments, they soon became key instruments in responding to natural disasters.

The drowning city has become a familar and terrifying international reality: witness not just Katrina and Rita, but the recent floods in central Europe, the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, and even the floods that submerged Dresden and Prague in 2002. In the wake of such catastrophes, architects and urban planners are called on to anticipate emergencies and find solutions for reconstruction. Here, Allen discusses the role of urban architecture in a natural disaster.

Authors: Bourque, Linda B; Siegel, Judith M; Afifi, Abdelmonem A; Shoaf, Kimberley I Abstract Respondents ( N = 414) studied after a California earthquake were recontacted 4 years later to determine if their prior experience with a disaster impaired or enhanced their ability to deal with a second natural disaster-a slow-onset El Ni weather pattern. Analyses addressed whether being emotionally injured in one disaster influences the extent to which one prepares for a future disaster, whether emotional injuries experienced in one disaster predispose individuals to emotional injury in a subsequent disaster, and whether other disaster-related parameters (physical injury and property damage) are similarly associated across two disasters. Emotional injury both facilitated preparedness, in terms of number of hazard-mitigation activities performed, and predisposed to a subsequent emotional injury. An unexpected finding emerged showing that emotional injury increased the chance of reporting damage in a second disaster-a relationship that was maintained after controlling for emotional injury in the second disaster. The impact of self-reported emotional injury in two sequential disasters on what might be considered a more objective outcome-property damage in the second disaster-underscores the need for a comprehensive assessment of disaster reactions in postdisaster research and across disasters, when possible.

Content Type: Journal Article Journal Article Availability: Full Text Online Preview Journal Article Disaster Survivors Author: Robert L Mitchell Abstract During Hurricane Katrina, Hancock Bank's Gulfport, MS, headquarters building was devastated. Today, the most visible change to the bank's disaster preparedness plan is a new $16 million data center farther inland, but that's just one of many changes COO Shane Loper says will pay off when the next disaster strikes. The old data center's server infrastructure had been mostly consolidated using VMware virtual machine technology when Katrina struck. Using more advanced techniques such as server virtualization to enable high availability and disaster recovery are good best practices. The virtual server files and associated data were backed up and could be quickly set up on hardware in a backup data center in Chicago. But the challenge was getting them to Chicago and loading them from tape. Hancock Bank keeps a database of employee contact information and has deployed an alert system that can push messages out to phones and e-mail accounts. Alternatively, employees can call a toll-free number to hear updates during a disaster.
