Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] careful, nuanced approach in examining the effects of a hurricane on a region’s electoral politics at all levels of government, including localities sometimes neglected by American political science but central to disaster politics."--Political Science Quarterly "Twigg has thoroughly researched. . . . [and] assembled an impressive array of facts by pouring through scholarly documents, books, and back issues of magazines."--Florida Historical Quarterly "A rigorous study of disaster's impact on elected local and state political officials, on their electoral fortunes or misfortunes, and on the local political fabric of impacted jurisdictions."--Richard T. Sylves, George Washington University "A significant contribution to the field of disaster studies."--Naim Kapucu, University of Central Florida From earthquakes to tornados, elected officials' responses to natural disasters can leave an indelible mark on their political careers. In the midst of the 1992 primary season, Hurricane Andrew overwhelmed South Florida, requiring local, state, and federal emergency responses. The work of many politicians in the storm's immediate aftermath led to a curious "incumbency advantage" in the general election a few weeks later, raising the question of just how much the disaster provided opportunities to effectively "campaign without campaigning." David Twigg uses newspaper stories, scholarly articles, and first person interviews to explore the impact of Hurricane Andrew on local and state political incumbents, revealing how elected officials adjusted their strategies and activities in the wake of the disaster. Not only did Andrew give them a legitimate and necessary opportunity to enhance their constituency service and associate themselves with the flow of external assistance, but it also allowed them to achieve significant personal visibility and media coverage while appearing to be non-political or above "normal" politics. This engrossing case study clearly demonstrates why natural disasters often privilege incumbents. Twigg not only sifts through the post-Andrew election results in Florida, but he also points out the possible effects of other past (and future) disaster events on political campaigns in this fascinating and prescient book.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the content of print media sources in their reporting of a major disaster, Hurricane Andrew. At the time, Andrew was the most expensive natural disaster in United States history with damages estimated at twenty five billion dollars. In Dade County, Andrew resulted in fifteen deaths and one-quarter million people were left temporarily homeless. In terms of sociological knowledge, the findings will show what different institutions print in accounts of a major disaster. These findings will provide an opportunity to reflect on the nature and character of these institutions. This study includes media coverage that spans an entire year to capture images of the impact and recovery phases of the disaster. In order to research a variety of news coverage of Hurricane Andrew, three different newspapers were selected including a national newspaper, The New York Times, a regional paper, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, and a local paper for the disaster impact area, The Miami Herald. Two government documents were selected to represent the government's response to the disaster. The Senate committee hearing includes testimony from a wide selection of individuals including government personnel, non-governmental agencies and experts, and those people who participated in the relief effort for Hurricane Andrew victims. The report from the U.S. Army Material Command describes the military's response to Hurricane Andrew and the logistic problems they encountered in their relief efforts. Most of the findings of this study support previous disaster studies. The newspaper articles focused more heavily on descriptions of victim behavior than the government reports. The Miami Herald had the highest percentage of content on descriptions of victim behavior. The media coverage of Hurricane Andrew had a higher percentage of content on damages than either of the government documents. The newspaper articles and the government reports had very limited coverage on evacuations and shelters and even less on descriptions of criminal behavior, activities, and events. In contrast to previous disaster studies, the mass media only directed a small percentage of content to criticizing the government's response to Hurricane Andrew. The Senate committee hearing contained the most criticism of the federal government's response to Hurricane Andrew. The Army Material Command report had the most criticism for the military's response to Hurricane Andrew.
