Note

Appendixes

This book proposes a way of thinking about disaster preparedness. Focusing on three causes of disaster (natural, organizational, and deliberate), it shows that our best hope lies in the deconcentration of high-risk populations, corporate power, and critical infrastructures. It also provides a comprehensive history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and examines why these agencies are so ill equipped to protect U.S. citizens.
