Abstract

Hurricane Katrina and post-Katrina audits are an on-going project for public affairs scholarship. Much has been written but critical frameworks of analysis are minimal. Crisis communication taxonomies are rich and fruitful in understanding the framing of calamitous events. In revisiting a previous mapping of crisis communication vulnerability points in the Katrina tragedy, the authors provide a further “vulnerability audit” of crisis-communication capabilities within a changing political/administrative ontology—one pointing to the privatization of crises/disasters within the Neo-liberal state. Lessons about crisis communication according to the earlier four conceptual lenses (Garnett and Kouzmin 2007) are supported by more recent developments and scholarship.
