In this book I use the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) to help derive important effectiveness components. My
reading of the literature on FEMA helped me derive some important
effectiveness factors in disaster management. These studies also
show that single-attribute analyses are inadequate in understanding
effectiveness; rather multiple factors must be analyzed together.
These insights formed the basis of the multiple-variable model I
propose and were then applied with other components derived from
the general disaster management literature in my study of CDERA. My
study on the Caribbean and CDERA shows not only that disaster
management is complex, but also that recurring disasters stymie
economic development and thus it is important to make disaster
management entities effective. It also demonstrates why it is
difficult to do so, particularly in that regional context. The
region consists of multiple, islands that are hazard prone. Because
of the geographic, demographic, and economic context of the
Caribbean, CDERA faces additional challenges that increase the
complexity of the disaster management environment.
