Recent hurricanes and other natural disasters demonstrate serious gaps in the legal system's ability to respond to events of this magnitude. Innovative policies are needed if society is to deal effectively with the aftermath of these disasters and the risk of future ones. One critical need is for improved federal, state, and local government collaboration in disaster response and reconstruction. Society also needs more effective preparation and better protection in vulnerable locations, and a more effective system for spreading risks and compensating victims.
