Paper Summary:
This paper examines how all types of disasters whether natural or man-made, cause extensive loss to life and property. It looks at how the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) makes provisions for Federal funds to be provided on a high priority bases to help mitigate hazards at local levels. It analyzes the factors that need to be taken into account to predict and plan for all kinds of disasters and how many states are working towards defining and stating an emergency plan for disaster preparedness, warning and relief.From the Paper:
"People react differently when faced with disaster, some may respond and follow the disaster response plan without a problem, other may forget key instructions and follow their own plans, the most dangerous situations however are when individuals freeze and fail to act when disaster strikes. Response before, during and after a disaster can be the difference between life and death. Failure to heed a hurricane warning when on open seas can be disastrous, for example, there is no plan or emergency option that can help if an individual does not follow the instructions. Very often, adventurers and risk takers will try and approach the disaster region to try and experience the phenomena. There are example of people trying to water ski in the surf produced by a hurricane and individuals who go close to volcanoes and craters to observe them."More papers on Emergency Management:
