HOW FEDERAL OVERREACH AND LOCAL FAILURES SHAPE AMERICA’S CRISIS RESPONSEBy David J. AlexanderLength14h 39m
About this audiobook
What if the greatest threat to American resilience isn’t the next hurricane, earthquake, or cyberattack—but our own disaster response system?
In Disaster Nation, public safety strategist and resilience expert Dr. David J. Alexander delivers a searing indictment of how the United States manages crises—and a bold vision for how to fix it. From FEMA’s drift to the misuse of the Stafford Act, this book reveals how risk is externalized, resilience is underfunded, and communities are left behind. Drawing on decades of field and policy experience, Disaster Nation offers a sweeping diagnosis of institutional failure—and a critical call to rethink how the nation governs risk, aid, and protection in an age of compounding crisis.
