Disaster Relief

Overview

This collection of essays explores the issues surrounding disaster relief. Readers are presented with a diversity of opinion on the topic, including both conservative and liberal points of view in an even balance. Readers will evaluate disaster relief systems, and whether the government should be in charge of disaster relief. They will examine the effectiveness of F.E.M.A. and whether it needs better operations management. Has American disaster relief improved since Hurricane Katrina? Does the U.N.'s humanitarian relief efforts need oversight? How do we make sure that pets are not forgotten during natural disasters? These questions and more are answered through this collection of compelling articles.
