notes: FROM THE WEBSITE: Welcome to Boalt Hall Law Library's Disasters and the Law: Katrina and Beyond. Recent hurricanes and other natural disasters demonstrate serious gaps in the legal system's ability to respond to events of this magnitude. Innovative policies are needed if society is to deal effectively with the aftermath of these disasters and the risk of future ones. One critical need is for improved federal, state, and local government collaboration in disaster response and reconstruction. Society also needs more effective preparation and better protection in vulnerable locations, and a more effective system for spreading risks and compensating victims. We hope that the information collected here will spur discussion of disaster response, prevention, and mitigation strategies. The pages on this site contain information gathered from a variety of sources on a multitude of topics discussing the law's response to natural disasters. The navigation map above displays subject headings. By clicking on a subject you will be taken to a page with links to relevant articles, responses from government and military officials, policy papers, opinion pieces, regulatory guidance, and statutory authority. By integrating knowledge and experience from fields as diverse as urban planning, bankruptcy law, and wetlands banking, the legal community may be able to provide advice and assistance to governments and individuals. ====================================== The New Katrina Flood: Hospital Liability http://www.propublica.org/feature/the-new-katrina-flood-hospital-liability-10102 The Deadly Choices at Memorial http://www.propublica.org/feature/the-deadly-choices-at-memorial-826 Formaldehyde legal (standards) arguments http://www.propublica.org/feature/formaldehyde -> FROM THE WEBSITE: Welcome to Boalt Hall Law Library's Disasters and the Law: Katrina and Beyond.
