Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book assesses the effectiveness of Federal Emergency Management Agencyâs disaster response after hurricanes Hugo, Loma Prieta, and Andrew. The author finds that the disaster response system is deficient in several ways. The response after hurricane Andrew was inadequate because there was poor damage assessment and inaccurate estimates of services needed. Miscommunication at all levels of government also slowed the delivery of service to disaster victims. In the case of a catastrophic disaster, only the military can quickly provide relief to victims. The author recommends several reforms, including revising the response strategy, enhancing State and local preparedness, and explicitly giving FEMA the authority to prepare for and respond to a catastrophic disaster. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of FEMAâs disaster response strategy, this book provides insights that could lead to improvements in the government's ability to help people in the aftermath of a devastating event.
