Thesis (M.A.)--Northern Arizona University, 2015.

As disasters progressively upsurge across the globe, accelerating in frequency and intensity, it is imperative to develop a comprehensive approach to help manage disaster-derived problems, while aiming to create resilient post-disaster communities in the wake of catastrophes. The purpose of this thesis is to cultivate a disaster response method that incorporates essential insights derived from various system theories. Adopting a complex adaptive systems (CAS) approach, I anticipate enhanced interconnectivity between disaster-related tasks, leading to more effective response and recovery efforts. The main goal of the CAS approach is to assist in rebuilding resilience among disaster-affected communities.

520 $a As disasters progressively upsurge across the globe, accelerating in frequency and intensity, it is imperative to develop a comprehensive approach to help manage disaster-derived problems, while aiming to create resilient post-disaster communities in the wake of catastrophes. The purpose of this thesis is to cultivate a disaster response method that incorporates essential insights derived from various system theories. Adopting a complex adaptive systems (CAS) approach, I anticipate enhanced interconnectivity between disaster-related tasks, leading to more effective response and recovery efforts. The main goal of the CAS approach is to assist in rebuilding resilience among disaster-affected communities.
520 $a In order to successfully address post-disaster complexity induced by a convergence of systemic factors, this thesis engages a methodology derived from the systems paradigm, while disengaging from traditional modalities originating from the reductionist-mechanistic paradigm. Reductionist strategies utilized in emergency management involve a disconnection between relief initiatives, isolating various specialties, and producing fragmented responses that fall short of intended goals. Reductionist modalities tend to focus on short-term goals, and as relief projects leave communities promptly after the immediate post-impact phase, disaster-affected communities often relapse into reiterated states of crises. In contrast, the CAS approach focuses on long-term systemic goals that lead to successful resiliency building. Furthermore, the CAS approach emphasizes local community involvement and empowerment, facilitating a platform for civil society to be at the heart of their disaster recovery process.
520 $a My main research question is: Could a complex adaptive systems approach lead to more effective long-term solutions to post-disaster community problems and subsequently help rebuild resilience for a disaster-affected community? To answer this inquiry, this thesis provides a literature review of systems theories; offers a theoretical review of the reductionist paradigm compared to the systemic paradigm; and evaluates multiple case studies of post-disaster communities. Finally, the practical implications of my CAS approach will be explored through an envisioned nonprofit agency---CARE Network. CARE strives to connect disaster-affected populations to vital resources and constituents within a community's emerging disaster response network while working towards the overarching goal of rebuilding community resilience and revitalization.
