Follow the $$$: Networks and Flows of Disaster Recovery Funding
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recovery funding from disasters is a complex system of cooperation between formal and informal stakeholders. Network analysis can shed light into the underlying mechanisms that occur during the post-disaster recovery phase. In this study, we apply a data-driven approach on online news articles and other publicly available information about the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake to construct networks of capital flow and organizational coalitions that are formed in the aftermath of the disaster. Studying the interactions and the public investments exchanged between the stakeholders provides insight into the networks and flows underlying disaster recovery funding.

A Multi Objective Graph Based Model for Analyzing Survivability of Vulnerable Networks
In the various fields of disaster management, choosing the best location for the Emergency Support & Supply Service Centers (ESSSCs) and the survivability of the network that provides the links between ESSSCs and their environment has a great role to be paid enough attention. This paper introduces a graph based model to measure the survivability of the linking's network. By values computed for ...
متن کاملEarthquake Disaster Management with Considering the Importance of Recovery
With respect to disasters, earthquake is one of the leading causes of death. Its aftermath can be abated if proper actions take place before the onset of the earthquake. Various sectors in a country are responsible for managing disasters, but the lack of knowledge about the positive effects of their actions makes them reluctant to act decisively.

متن کاملDistributed and Cooperative Compressive Sensing Recovery Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks with Bi-directional Incremental Topology
Recently, the problem of compressive sensing (CS) has attracted lots of attention in the area of signal processing. So, much of the research in this field is being carried out in this issue. One of the applications where CS could be used is wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The structure of WSNs consists of many low power wireless sensors. This requires that any improved algorithm for this appli...
متن کاملThe financial management of catastrophic flood risks in emerging-economy countries.
This article examines the potential of pre- and post-disaster instruments for funding disaster response and recovery and for creating incentives for flood loss mitigation in countries with emerging or transition economies. As a concrete case, we discuss the disaster recovery arrangements following the 1997 flood disaster in Poland. We examine the advantages and limitations of hedging instrument...
