Unequal Recovery? Federal Resource Distribution after a Midwest Flood Disaster
Following severe flooding in 2008, three Iowa communities acquired over 1000 damaged properties to support disaster recovery and mitigation. This research applies a distributive justice framework to analyze the distribution of disaster recovery funds for property acquisition. Two research questions drive the analysis: (1) how does recovery vary by acquisition funding source; and (2) what is the...
متن کاملRecovery and Reconstruction after Disaster
Definition Disaster recovery. Disaster recovery has three distinct but interrelated meanings. First, it is a goal that involves the restoration of normal community activities that were disrupted by disaster impacts – in most people’s minds, exactly as they were before the disaster struck. Second, it is a phase in the emergency management cycle that begins with stabilization of the disaster cond...
متن کاملFederal Stability in Unequal Societies
The stability of federal systems is a thorny issue. Several scholars have attempted to come to grips with this problem and have proposed mechanisms or institutions which may contribute to the stabilization of federal systems. In many instances, however, the underlying mechanisms and microfoundations are poorly specified. In this paper I build upon existing models dealing with decentralization a...
متن کاملMCD method for resource distribution in a large-scale disaster
Disaster rescue is one of the most serious social issues which involve very large numbers of heterogeneous rescue teams. In this paper, we introduce a co-ordination strategy for strengthening civil agents’ lives in the RoboCup-Rescue simulator scenario based on Multiple-Criteria Decision Techniques. The coordination strategy allows distributing the ambulance teams (resources) to the victims tha...
متن کاملStrategic Planning for Disaster Recovery with Stochastic Last Mile Distribution
This paper considers the single commodity allocation problem (SCAP) for disaster recovery, a fundamental problem faced by all populated areas. SCAPs are complex stochastic optimization problems that combine resource allocation, warehouse routing, and vehicle fleet routing. Moreover, these problems must be solved under tight runtime constraints to be practical in real-world disaster situations. ...
