About the Book

The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Response and Recovery covers the two post-disaster stages of the disaster cycle and presents am extensive and cutting-edge overview of their many considerations. Organized into two parts, Response and Recovery, this handbook details the history, theories, methods, debates, and emerging issues in the stages of response and recovery. Using a transdisciplinary approach, the myriad topics examined in this handbook include search and rescue, myths related to disaster response, technological methods for response, recovery among vulnerable populations, and the intersection of disasters and mental health. Contributors discuss these issues both globally as well as country- and disaster-specific. This book is an essential guide and reference not only for scholars engaged in disaster research, but also for undergraduate and graduate students, policy makers, disaster managers, international and supranational agencies, and humanitarian and volunteer organizations engaged in disaster management.

Review :
"The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Response and Recovery highlights not only the critical importance of response to and recovery from disasters, but the diversity of approaches to these processes and the ways in which they are studied and seen by people around the world. Understanding the scope with which different experts, people, and cultures comprehend and move through these spaces is absolutely essential to improving our progress through them, and works like this propel our ability to discuss these issues through varied lenses." Jennifer Trivedi, Disaster Research Center, University of Delaware “The Routledge Handbook of Disaster Response and Recovery represents a significant contribution to your understanding of these two phases of the emergency management cycle. Spanning topical areas from ‘nuts and bolts’ concepts to real-world and applied situations, this Handbook provides a comprehensive accounting of current challenges and opportunities for response and recovery. The editors have curated a volume worthy of not only a place on the bookshelf, but one that will be pulled down again and again as a reference manual for those interested in diving into the challenges and solutions presented within.” Christopher T. Emrich, School of Public Administration, University of Central Florida
