RISK, HAZARDS & CRISIS IN PUBLIC POLICY

Crsisis and risk are our daily companions in these times. This much needed new journal from Berkeley Electronic Press, edited by Hank Jenkins-Smith of the University of Oklahoma, Warren Eller and Brian Gerber of Louisiana State University, will cover among other issues crisis prediction, preparation, mitigation, response and recovery. It will probe questions of physical, economic, health and environmental security. Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy creates a conversation in an area which sorely needs scholarship and research. The problems are well known; it is time there were some solutions.
