Abstract
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and earthquakes in Pakistan, India, and Japan have demonstrated the need for the ongoing examination of organizational learning processes of responders to natural disasters. This book explores the interactions of theories of risk with natural disasters, health crises, and crises in the areas of science and technology. The author argues that many of the responses to the crises and disasters that are encountered are the product of systems that have been created through direct policy choices and choices undertaken in daily life. Using organizational frameworks developed exclusively by the author, this book provides a series of best practices and lessons related to each of the emergency and crisis situations covered. These lessons will assist students and practitioners, engaged in learning about and reacting to crises, to better respond to them.
