Deadly Indifference: The Perfect (Political) Storm: Hurricane Katrina, the Bush White House, and Beyond by Michael D. BrownMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A personal memoir that details the challenges of providing support services following a disaster. The book gives a deeper understanding of why it is difficult to provide help when the success also depends on the actions of other persons and interests that may not be working for the same goals (NIMBI--not in my best interest). The political motives and lack of coordination with other government agencies can worsen the immediate aftermath. A good read to appreciate how a deadly indifference to natural disaster risks can be a costly mistake.
