In the wake of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina, executives and
policymakers are motivated than ever to reduce the vulnerability of
social and economic systems to disasters. Most prior work on
critical infrastructure protection has focused on the
responsibilities and actions of government rather than on those of
the private sector firms that provide most vital services. Seeds of
Disaster, Roots of Response is the first systematic attempt to
understand how private decisions and operations affect public
vulnerability. It describes effective and sustainable approaches
both business strategies and public policies to ensure provision of
critical services in the event of disaster. The authors are
business leaders from multiple industries and experts in fields as
diverse as risk analysis, economics, engineering, organization
theory and public policy. The book shows the necessity of deeply
rooted collaboration between private and public institutions, and
the accountability and leadership required to go from words to
action.
