In recent years, the number of presidential declarations of "major
disasters" has skyrocketed. Such declarations make stricken areas
eligible for federal emergency relief funds that greatly reduce
their costs. But is federalizing the costs of disasters helping to
lighten the overall burden of disasters or is it making matters
worse? Does it remove incentives for individuals and local
communities to take measures to protect themselves? Are people more
likely to invest in property in hazardous locations in the belief
that, if worse comes to worst, the federal government will bail
them out?."Disasters and Democracy" addresses the political
response to natural disasters, focusing specifically on the
changing role of the federal government from distant observer to
immediate responder and principal financier of disaster costs.
