Facing Catastrophe
Author: Robert R. M. Verchick
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674064259
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
As Hurricane Katrina vividly revealed, disaster policy in the United States is broken and needs reform. What can we learn from past disastersÑstorms, floods, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, and wildfiresÑabout preparing for and responding to future catastrophes? How can these lessons be applied in a future threatened by climate change? In this bold contribution to environmental law, Robert Verchick 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. ÒGoing greenÓ means minimizing exposure to hazards by preserving natural buffers and integrating those buffers into artificial systems like levees or seawalls. ÒBeing fairÓ means looking after public health, safety, and the environment without increasing personal and social vulnerabilities. ÒKeeping safeÓ means a more cautionary approach when confronting disaster risks. Verchick argues that government must assume a stronger regulatory role in managing natural infrastructure, distributional fairness, and public risk. He proposes changes to the federal statutes governing environmental impact assessments, wetlands development, air emissions, and flood control, among others. Making a strong case for more transparent governmental decision-making, Verchick offers a new vision of disaster law for the next generation.

Live in the shadows long enough, you get used to the dark 2:00 a.m., the day after Christmas, and Detective Erin O’Reilly is ready for the biggest bust of her career. After months of deceit, danger, and death, Erin and her task force are in place to make a clean sweep of Evan O’Malley and his gang. But when the operation goes sideways, all their carefully-laid plans collapse into chaos. A close friend and co-conspirator is shot in his kitchen. A ruthless O'Malley enforcer is on the loose and bent on revenge. Everything Erin thought she could count on is going up in smoke. With a key witness at risk and new power struggles already simmering, Erin and her K-9 Rolf race through the dark Manhattan streets on a mission to finish off the Irish Mob. As bullets fly and buildings burn, gangsters, cops, and traitors hunt each other in the twilight of New York’s concrete canyons. The O’Malleys’ day may be ending, but they’re not going down without a fight.
