"Disasters and Democracy" addresses the political response to natural disasters, focusing on the changing role of the federal government. The book traces the evolution of the federal disaster assistance role and major programs, examines the concept of hazard mitigation, considers the "backlash against regulation" and the property rights movement, reviews constitutional law on the "taking issue" as it applies to the regulation of hazardous areas, and provides a summary of cross-cutting issues and policy recommendations.
