New Working Papers from the Hazards Center

New Working Papers from the Hazards Center

Hazards researcher Elliott Mittler is undertaking a series of case studies as part of an assessment of state roles in disaster mitigation and management. The goal of the research is to understand why states initiate in-state programmes, to determine how other states can be encouraged to follow suit, and to define an appropriate role for the federal government in supporting state initiatives. When the case studies are completed, a theoretical model of the initiation process will be tested. The first two case studies are now available from the Natural Hazards Center as Working Papers on the center Web site:

1. 1.

   WP96: A Case Study of Florida's Homeowners' Insurance Since Hurricane Andrew, by Elliott Mittler.

2. 2.

   WP97: A Case Study of the Enactment of a State Building Code in South Carolina, by Elliott Mittler.

Both papers are available from http://www.colorado.edu/hazards/wp/wp.html.
