Description

Chaos Organization and Disaster Management offers a scholarly survey of disaster response behavior and management within the face of natural and manmade catastrophe. The creator provides a methodological and empirical platform from which to initiate a important analysis of disaster management. Sparked by a unique field study of the Israeli experience all over the Gulf War, this book demonstrates the massive divide between individual responses to disaster and the true functioning of disaster management organizations. It exposes the fundamental flaws of disaster management agencies, analyzing disasters from the perspectives of both agencies and potential sufferers.

Formulating an alternative option to disaster management that draws upon some great benefits of privatization, this volume appraises methods of measuring disaster agency effectiveness, emphasizing the citizen vantage point and stakeholder evaluations. It outlines the intrinsic bureaucratic constraints that impede the efficacy of government agencies, and reveals the disconnect between organizational and victim perceptions of disaster.

By highlighting a new empirically based understanding of disaster behavior, the book recommends moving the point of interest of disaster management to a social process model so that you can save lives.
