Disaster Legal Relief and Homeland Security

Davis, M.F. (2004, May). Preparing for the worst: Re-envisioning disaster legal relief in the era of homeland security. Fordham Urban Law Journal, 31, 959-982.

Argues for federal funding of legal services in the future Homeland Security budget geared toward addressing complicated issues of disposition of goods and entitlements in the wake of complicated major disasters. Cites pro bono services of lawyers in regard to disposition of cases arising from 9/11.

Hodge, N. (2005, April). State of denial: accepting liability is rarely easy. Financial Management, 16-19.

Discusses "corporate social responsibility," which reaches the idea of government social responsibility and legal vagaries of geopolitics. The problem is that first-world governments have a habit of shielding multinational corporations for liabilities incurred by damage in the third world.

Jansz, P. (2001, September 16). Mobility is the key to disaster planning: A mobile office system can be had with laptops, cell phones, pagers and daily data backup. New Jersey Law Journal, 169, 30.

Though technology can be very vulnerable in a disaster, optical and digital software plus laptops and mobile communications could save an entire office operation. This article happens to be in a law journal, and the legal obligations of attorneys are perhaps at heightened risk if their physical records were to disappear. But any office- and records-oriented organization might benefit from the wisdom of planning in advance for the consequences of a disaster.

Kaye, J.S. (2001, Fall). Coping with disaster. Journal of Appellate Practice and Process, 3, 453-60.

Explains the dislocation of the judicial system that came about because of 9/11--loss of personnel, the rush of citizens into the system for government help, etc. Notes that the juror call-in system, delayed for years because of New York City bureaucracy, was implemented afterward. It took a disaster to excite a response.
