Contents Notes |
The author argues for a new perspective on disaster law that is based on the principles of environmental protection. His prescription boils down to three simple commands: Go green, be fair, and keep safe. He argues that government must assume a stronger regulatory role in managing natural infrastructure, distributional fairness, and public risk.--[book cover] Natural infrastructure -- Our incredible shrinking infrastructure -- System failures and fairness deficits -- Tending our gardens -- Backwater blues -- Disaster justice -- Winds of change -- Precaution and social welfare -- Mapping Katrina -- Planning our futures. |
