Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Regardless of whether disasters are natural or the result of human fallibility or short-sightedness their effects are often exacerbated by poor preparation or sub-standard disaster response management. That said, the salient conclusion, is that policymakers can learn from these unanticipated events and mistakes, taking steps to prevent similar problems in the future. By examining four disparate cases of relatively recent disasters in the United States I hope to focus on how policy changes are implemented or obstructed following these types of events. Each of these cases differs in how rescue and recovery efforts were handled, as well as subsequent levels of associated political fallout. This effort expands and complements previous work done by Peter May, who examines federal policy in terms of relief and recovery, and Thomas Birkland, who has investigated policy changes resulting after disasters but with a different institutional focus. By highlighting climates of accountability, policy windows, and resultant initiatives, I will provide this existing literature with an enhanced understanding of how policymakers have approached mistakes made in either the planning or recovery stages of disaster events.
