This book examines the evolution of federal disaster relief policy,
assesses problems with current policy, and provides an
understanding of the issues likely to be involved in future
deliberations about federal policy. While examining its
formulation, May describes this policy making in two different
political environments: the charged atmosphere immediately
following the catastrophe and, secondly, the calm between
catastrophes. Local, state, and federal government conflicts are
illustrated in a case study of Mount St. Helens; intergovernmental
partnerships in this arena are discussed in relation to other
relief efforts. May stresses the political implications of disaster
relief in his analysis of the electoral benefits and influence
politicians derive from their attempts to influence federal
disaster relief efforts. Finally he addresses the economic
considerations and future directions for federal disaster relief
policy. Three distinct policy approaches and their tradeoffs
provide an overview of the options for future policy making.
