This book challenges the taken-for-granted status of organizations such as the Red Cross and Medecins Sans Frontieres by problematizing humanitarianism. It is a unique contribution to organization studies, re-reading humanitarianism to show that humanitarian organizations essentially serve as global disciplinary institutions.

The study focuses on organized activities within communities experiencing disaster. It is initiated by a description of the nature of disaster involvement on the part of various community organizations. A discussion follows of the different meanings of the term 'disaster' and of the social implications created by differential characteristics of disaster agents. It is suggested that the primary disruption of the social structure is revealed in unplanned changes in interorganizational relationships. Four types of organized behavior are isolated, derived from a cross-classification of the nature of the disaster tasks and the post-impact structure. Using these four types, problems of mobilization and recruitment are discussed as well as the specific operational problems these groups experience functioning under disaster conditions. A final chapter deals with the implications of disaster research in dealing with the organizational consequences of a nuclear catastrophe.

Chaos Organization and Disaster Management offers a scholarly survey of disaster response behavior and management in the face of natural and manmade catastrophe. The author provides a methodological and empirical platform from which to initiate a critical analysis of disaster management. Sparked by a unique field study of the Israeli experience during the Gulf War, this book demonstrates the massive divide between individual responses to disaster and the actual functioning of disaster management organizations. It exposes the fundamental flaws of disaster management agencies, analyzing disasters from the perspectives of both agencies and potential victims. Formulating an alternative approach to disaster management that draws upon the advantages of privatization, this volume appraises methods of measuring disaster agency effectiveness, emphasizing the citizen vantage point and stakeholder evaluations. It outlines the intrinsic bureaucratic constraints that impede the efficacy of government agencies, and reveals the disconnect between organizational and victim perceptions of disaster. By highlighting a new empirically based understanding of disaster behavior, the book recommends moving the focus of disaster management to a social process model that will save lives.

This book is not intended to be a survival guide if life as we know it crumbles. This book is for those who understand that emergencies and disasters can happen to individuals, families, communities, and geographical regions, and who want to be ready to handle them better. A winter storm can take out your electricity for days or even weeks. A hurricane may threaten your city and you have to shelter in place or choose to evacuate until it passes. A tornado carves a path of devastation and utilities are disrupted; you're fine but you have no electricity or water. There's a fire in your building and you have to evacuate with the basic necessities. A tree crashes down on your house and you have to find other accommodations until repairs are made. Or you're stuck in your car on the highway due to a major accident ahead. You will be planning and preparing for large emergencies, which means you'll be better prepared for the smaller emergencies. If an emergency happens, your life will be affected, but you'll handle it better if you take these 31 Small Steps to Organize for Emergencies.
