Emergency Planning

MARCH 27, 2020

As I write, the Covid-19 pandemic is ramping up in many countries. In 2015 Gaillard and Gomez published an interesting paper on the "disaster research gold rush". Much of what is written will need to be reconsidered in the light of the outcome of the pandemic, which is months away, and the post-event debate that follows it.

In this context, I salute the thoughtful work of Christopher Gomez, Dierdre Hart and JC Gaillard (Gomez and Hart 2013, Gaillard and Gomez 2015) on the phenomenon of the "disaster gold rush". Gomez 2015. Nevertheless, I cannot ignore the breakneck speed with which papers are propelled into [digital] print nowadays. Gaillard, J-C.

São Paulo, Brazil’s financial capital and one of the 10 most populated cities, nearly ran out of water in 2015, when the main reservoir fell below 4% capacity. In the 1990s, we had lots of transport and natural disasters, so emergency planning came of age. Over the last few years, two cities have almost run out of water.
