Abstract

Disaster researchers and professional emergency managers have historically been constrained by prior concepts and our failure to understand the implications of alternate theoretical perspectives. The notion of risk management is proactive and addresses risk identification, risk assessment, and risk treatment. However, it does not really provide guidance during the crisis period of disasters or the process of recovery. In contrast, emergency management has traditionally focused on preparedness and response issues while ignoring the need to reduce the occurrence or impact of disasters. This chapter discusses these epistemological problems and then explores how the concept of comprehensive vulnerability management may help bridge the gap between proactive and reactive approaches to disasters. In particular, the chapter argues that the concepts of liability reduction and capacity building may help to unify the disparate views espoused by both scholars and professionals.
