Book excerpt: Scientific evidence, mythology, some interpretation of religious texts all seem to indicate that a disaster of the type that may greatly alter the population of humans on earth will occur at some time. When this will happen will only be known when it happens. The militia attitude, hoarding supplies, building bunkers all seem to be quite absurd notions to me. Everything we need to carry on after such an event will be available wherever we are. Learn what you need to do. Then relax and enjoy your life today and every day. Worrying about what may or may not happen in the future is wasting time that could be enjoyed right now.

Download or read book Disaster and the Politics of Intervention written by Andrew Lakoff and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government plays a critical role in mitigating individual and collective vulnerability to disaster. Through measures such as disaster relief, infrastructure development, and environmental regulation, public policy is central to making societies more resilient. However, the recent drive to replace public institutions with market mechanisms has challenged governmental efforts to manage collective risk. The contributors to this volume analyze the respective roles of the public and private sectors in the management of catastrophic risk, addressing questions such as: How should homeland security officials evaluate the risk posed by terrorist attacks and natural disasters? Are market-based interventions likely to mitigate our vulnerability to the effects of climate change? What is the appropriate relationship between non-governmental organizations and private security firms in responding to humanitarian emergencies? And how can philanthropic efforts to combat the AIDS crisis ensure ongoing access to life-saving drugs in the developing world? More generally, these essays point to the way thoughtful policy intervention can improve our capacity to withstand catastrophic events.

Download or read book Form Function written by Michael Michalas and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of about a half of a lifetime's worth of poetry. Within this 368-poem book, you will quickly notice that all my poems rhyme and follow a lyrical formula as though you can set it to music. I consider this to be a book of poetry not only for those who like poetry but for those who don't like poetry as well. Hopefully, I can change some people's minds as to what poetry can be. Most of my poems have been written in the first person and are quite personal. This collection spans the full spectrum of topics, emotions, and overall tones from A to Z. I sincerely hope that this book both inspires and entertains.

Download or read book Disasters and the American State written by Patrick S. Roberts and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disasters and the American State offers a thesis about the trajectory of federal government involvement in preparing for disaster shaped by contingent events. Politicians and bureaucrats claim credit for the government's successes in preparing for and responding to disaster, and they are also blamed for failures outside of government's control. New interventions have created precedents and established organizations and administrative cultures that accumulated over time and produced a general trend in which citizens, politicians and bureaucrats expect the government to provide more security from more kinds of disasters. The trend reached its peak when the Federal Emergency Management Agency adopted the idea of preparing for 'all hazards' as its mantra. Despite the rhetoric, however, the federal government's increasingly bold claims and heightened public expectations are disproportionate to the ability of the federal government to prevent or reduce the damage caused by disaster.
