Long considered ground zero for global climate change in the United
States, Florida presents the perfect case study for disaster risk
and prevention. Building on the idea that disasters are produced by
historical and contemporary social processes as well as natural
phenomena, Amanda D. Concha-Holmes and Anthony Oliver-Smith present
a collection of ethnographic case studies that examine the social
and environmental effects of Florida’s public and private sector
development policies. Contributors to Disasters in Paradise explore
how these practices have increased the vulnerability of Floridians
to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, frosts, and forest
fires.
