When natural disasters and emergencies strike, the short- and
long-term effects of these events on first responders—the very
people society relies upon in the midst of a catastrophe—are
often overlooked. Policing in Natural Disasters provides a
comprehensive analysis of the major challenges faced by law
enforcement officers during extreme crisis events. Terri Adams and
Leigh Anderson examine the dilemmas police departments face as well
as the impact of the disasters on the professional and personal
lives of the officers. Case studies explore the response and
recovery phases of emergencies including Hurricane Katrina, the
2010 earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Santiago, Chile, and the
Superstorm Tornado Outbreak in 2011.  Policing in
Natural Disasters was inspired by the personal accounts of triumph
and tragedy shared by first responders. It provides an
understanding of first-responder behaviors during disasters, as
well as the preparedness, mitigation, response and recovery policy
implications for first responders and emergency managers. As first
responders must frequently cope with stress, uncertainty, and
threats to their health and safety during high-consequence events,
Adams and Anderson provide lessons from first-hand experiences of
police officers that can lead to better management in times of
crisis.
