2. Disasterology
Dispatches from the Frontlines of the Climate Crisis
Blending firsthand disaster-response experience with sharp analysis, this book reveals how the United States’ emergency management system is ill-prepared for escalating climate-fueled crises and routinely fails the most vulnerable. It traces the politics, funding gaps, and bureaucratic hurdles that compound harm after hurricanes, floods, fires, and industrial accidents, while highlighting community resilience and the lifesaving value of mitigation and preparedness. Ultimately, it offers a pragmatic, justice-centered blueprint for reform so disasters become less catastrophic and recovery more equitable.
