Catastrophe 27
Catastrophe 27 :
"Unfortunately, one of the biggest shortcomings of the Stafford Act is that it only recognizes two levels of disasters - emergencies and major disasters. Emergencies are normally smaller, limited scale events. The second category - major disasters - is intended for larger events, but this can run the gamut from a blizzard in Buffalo to a major earthquake in California that impacts millions. A third category should be created to differentiate catastrophes from major disasters". (Moss and Shalhamer, The Stafford Act: Priorities for Reform, 6Sep2007, p. 15)
