A lethal mix of natural disaster, dangerously flawed construction, and reckless human actions devastated San Francisco in 1906 and New Orleans in 2005. Eighty percent of the built environments of both cities were destroyed in the catastrophes, and the poor, the elderly, and the medically infirm were disproportionately among the thousands who perished. These striking similarities in the impacts of cataclysms separated by a century impelled Steve Kroll-Smith to look for commonalities in how the cities recovered from disaster. In Recovering Inequality, he builds a convincing case that disaster recovery and the reestablishment of social and economic inequality are inseparable.
Kroll-Smith demonstrates that disaster and recovery in New Orleans and San Francisco followed a similar pattern. In the immediate aftermath of the flooding and the firestorm, social boundaries were disordered and the communities came together in expressions of unity and support. But these were quickly replaced by other narratives and actions, including the depiction of the poor as looters, uneven access to disaster assistance, and successful efforts by the powerful to take valuable urban real estate from vulnerable people. Kroll-Smith concludes that inexorable market forces ensured that recovery efforts in both cities would reestablish the patterns of inequality that existed before the catastrophes. The major difference he finds between the cities is that, from a market standpoint, New Orleans was expendable, while San Francisco rose from the ashes because it was a hub of commerce.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall less than four weeks apart in 2005. Months later, much of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast remained in tatters. As the region faded from national headlines, its residents faced a dire future. Emmanuel David chronicles how one activist group confronted the crisis. Founded by a few elite white women in New Orleans, Women of the Storm quickly formed a broad coalition that sought to represent Louisiana's diverse population. From its early lobbying of Congress through its response to the 2010 BP oil spill, David shows how members' actions were shaped by gender, race, class, and geography. Drawing on in-depth interviews, ethnographic observation, and archival research, David tells a compelling story of collective action and personal transformation that expands our understanding of the aftermath of an historic American catastrophe.
Words Whispered in Water is a rare story about how a tiny woman prevailed against a mammoth federal agency and won. With corporations getting ever larger -- and even able to influence the outcome of presidential elections -- the power of a single individual might seem lost. Words Whispered in Water proves that the power of a single individual is alive and well.
When steel flood-walls built with inherent engineering mistakes broke in New Orleans, the responsible party, the Army Corps of Engineers, went into full-time damage control mode. The federal agency - with cooperation from Big Media and Big Business - spent millions bamboozling the American public. The Army Corps blamed the resulting flood devastation and death on Mother Nature and the low moral character of the city's residents. But in the chaotic aftermath, Sandy Rosenthal uncovered evidence that the Army Corps had made egregious design mistakes in their steel floodwalls fifteen years before they buckled and failed, causing hundreds of deaths in 2005 With no special training, she exposed the scandal and eventually changed the narrative from "natural disaster" to "federal floodwall failure." How this miracle of public truth-telling was accomplished is the subject of Words Whispered in Water.
Everyone relies on the Army Corps of Engineers whether they know it or not. Fifty-five percent of the American population lives in counties protected by floodwalls. The Army Corps' budget for 2019 is $4.8 billion for civil projects. A pie chart of annual federal spending in the United States shows a sliver big enough to see with the naked eye. The Army Corps employs 37,000 people, and there are Army Corps-built structures in every state of the nation. In fact, many of them are ongoing disasters including the Sacramento Central Valley region of California, the sugar-fertilizer soaked South Florida Everglades and more recently, sacred tribal lands and lakes in North Dakota invaded by a pipeline, stopped by the Obama administration and more recently greenlighted by a Trump order.
Words Whispered in Water highlights the importance of exposing the bad behavior of giant corporations and bureaucracies whose unsavory activities affect millions of people, because once bad behavior is exposed, there is noticeably less fraud and better behavior on the part of an organization. Just as Facebook and Wells Fargo are owning up to their bad behavior by flooding the airwaves with advertising promising to do better, Rosenthal's vigilance regarding the Army Corps has the potential to produce a similar pay-off that could hundreds of thousands of lives in the future. Rosenthal's story is crucial reading for potential citizen activists looking who desire to make a difference. Additionally, Words Whispered in Water provides lessons for politicians and bureaucrats from City Hall, to Congress, to the almost faceless Army Corps. In this era of lies and deception at every level in public life, the author shows how to use persuasiveness, persistence and free tools like the Freedom of Information Act, videos and social media to prevail.
Finally, Words Whispered in Water offers a valuable warning as to what is likely to happen in this time of eroding coastlines, coupled with America's history of trying to control - instead of coexist - with water.
Автор: Fatemeh Farnaz Arefian Название: Organising Post-Disaster Reconstruction Processes ISBN: 3319890093 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783319890098 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 93160.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: Through a synthesis of a broader inter-disciplinary literature in the field of disaster studies, organisation theory and management, and an in-depth case study this book provides an analytical framework for organising post-disaster reconstruction programmes which aim to reduce future disaster risks and achieve other objectives. It explores the role of organisational design and management on approaching and achieving the objectives of the reconstruction programme in Iran after the 2003 Bam earthquake. The housing reconstruction programme in Bam was a complex case, offering various learning opportunities to understand organising reconstruction processes especially in urban areas. The case study research explores how the urban housing reconstruction programme system was formed purposefully towards the delivery of the stated objectives and created an innovative housing process throughout the urban area. It identifies consistencies and inconsistencies among the influential organisational attributes of the programme delivery system formation. The system evolved through corrective adjustments (either formally or informally) during its implementation to reflect unfolding consequences of inconsistencies in initial formation and emerging contextual issues in the field.
