Objectives:

To learn about controversial issues current in the disaster field

To understand ways that social work is contributing and can further contribute to disaster preparedness, mitigation, response, and recovery

We discuss questions such as: Who should pay for disaster? What is the role of the federal government? What is the best way to deal with diversity issues (gender, ethnicity, and social class)? Do those who influence public disaster policies have the public’s interest in mind? Who is responsible for Third world recovery?
