Disasters are defined as a 'crisis event in which the demands being
placed on a human system, by the event, exceed the systems capacity
to respond'.The disaster literature has generally focused at the
individual level and fails to take into account the context in
which individuals live and where the disaster occurred.Few studies
utilize residents within a disaster community to define the factors
that are relevant to their disaster experience especially in
Australian settings. This book aims to understand disaster
communities and what factors indicate a communities resilience.
Results indicate the relative importance of self-efficacy to the
experience of stress and growth in disasters and that different
styles of coping are inextricably linked to each
other.Contributions of this study indicate that for emergency
management organizations there is no universal method of
practice.Local communities need to be understood in terms of their
contexts to effectively develop and implement prevention programs
and aid resilience. This book will be useful for those in the
emergency management field, social scientests and methodologists.
