"A consistent problem that confronts disaster reduction is the disjunction between academic and expert knowledge and policies and practices of agencies mandated to deal with the concern. Although a great deal of knowledge has been acquired regarding many aspects of the gap, such as driving factors, risk construction, complexity of resettlement, and importance of peoples' culture, very little has gotten into protocol and procedure. Disaster Upon Disaster illuminates the numerous disjunctions between the suppositions, realities, agendas, and executions in the field, goes on to detail contingencies, predicaments, old and new plights, and finally advances solutions and the matter of outcomes"-- Disasters Social aspects. 7752 Disaster relief Social aspects. 7753 Emergency management Social aspects. 7754 Hoffman, Susanna M., editor. 7755 Barrios, Roberto E., editor. 7756 Online version: Disaster upon disaster First edition.
