A consistent problem that confronts disaster reduction is the
disjunction between academic and expert knowledge and policies and
practices of agencies mandated to deal with the concern. Although a
great deal of knowledge has been acquired regarding many aspects of
disasters, such as driving factors, risk construction, complexity
of resettlement, and importance of peoples' culture, very little
has become protocol and procedure. Disaster Upon Disaster
illuminates the numerous disjunctions between the suppositions,
realities, agendas, and executions in the field, goes on to detail
contingencies, predicaments, old and new plights, and finally
advances solutions toward greatly improved outcomes.
