Political leadership in disaster and crisis communication and managementinternational perspectives and practices /[electronic resource] :by Hamish McLean, Jacqui Ewart. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - xxiii, 203 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Introduction -- 2. Extraordinary politics in catastrophic times -- 3. Sampling disaster concepts -- 4. Political leadership in calamity -- 5. Frontline realities -- 6. Managing Relationships -- 7. Voices of Reason -- 8. Minding the Minders -- 9. Lessons Learned and Best Practices.

This book explores the role of elected leaders in disaster management. Filling a significant gap in disaster literature, the authors take a pragmatic approach to the relationships between the public under threat, the operational response, and the interests and actions of elected officials. Key tactics are explored, from the ways operational managers strategically deal with unreasonable political demands to what disaster officials argue is the responsibility of elected officials at all levels of government - that is, to ensure vital life-saving information reaches the people who need it most. The book draws on case studies such as the mismanagement of public perceptions by President George W. Bush during Hurricane Katrina in the United States and the widely acclaimed, heartfelt messages delivered by Queensland Premier Anna Bligh during the 2010-11 South-East Queensland floods in Australia. Drawing on a series of interviews with senior disaster managers in ten countries, this book is highly relevant for students, scholars and practitioners interested in disaster communication.
