V. Putting It All Together The Ecology of Public Policy Implementation Summary "The negative consequences of natural hazard events are staggering and growing. Governments are acting to increase community resilience, reduce losses, and facilitate recovery, but these actions do not always yield anticipated consequences. This book is a compelling interdisciplinary analysis of California's efforts to ensure that acute care hospitals survive earthquakes and continue to function in the aftermath. The book weaves together several threads essential to understanding the effectiveness of public policies intended to reduce the consequences of natural hazard events: public policy design and administration, the hazard mitigation investment decision made by targeted organizations, and contextual dynamics."--Publisher's description Analysis natuurrampen natural disasters gezondheid health aardwetenschappen earth sciences politicologie political science Geology (General) Geologie (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed January 22, 2018) Subject Hospitals -- California -- Administration Emergency management -- California Hazard mitigation -- California Earthquakes.
