Abstract

Global warning may be increasing the frequency and destructiveness of natural disasters. Public-based emergency services were unable to cope with Hurricane Katrina and the Victorian bushfires and voluntary aid was critical in meeting the needs of the victims. This article examines the role of government and voluntary agencies in addressing these disasters in terms of aid, rebuilding, relocation, and redevelopment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
