In this episode, Daniel Aldrich (@DanielPAldrich) returns to the podcast to discuss his new book, Black Wave: How Networks and Governance Shaped Japan’s 3/11 Disasters. We go deeper on social ties and how they impact disaster response and recovery, and why it matters beyond the disasters in Japan. Other publications referenced in the discussion include: NPR reporting on Inequalities After Disasters (w/links to the source research articles in the piece): https://www.npr.org/2019/03/05/688786177/how-federal-disaster-money-favors-the-rich RAND Study on Preparedness Kits: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/disaster-medicine-and-public-health-preparedness/article/citizen-preparedness-for-disasters-are-current-assumptions-valid/C3BB34848AAA4CE0A24A5B4352A28DC9 Additional article on lack of evidence for preparedness kits: https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/10.2105/AJPH.2016.303148 Theme Music is Chicky & Chacky by KieLoBot (https://freemusicarchive.org/music/KieLoBot/Chicky__Chacky/Chicky_Chacky_KMT_01).
