Abstract
This report examines the theoretical concepts of environmental justice, vulnerability and resiliency and applies them to two case studies. The first case examines Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the social issues and governance structures that led to the disaster situation which occurred in New Orleans. The second case examines disaster risk reduction projects ongoing in coastal Bangladesh involving stakeholders from the public and private sector distributing capital to vulnerable communities in a co-managed and bottom-linked governance structure. These streams of capital distribution are examined in what the author refers to as RISK Pathways, RISK standing for Resources, Information, Services and Knowledge. This form of disaster governance forms a resilient web of distribution channels into a social-ecological network, what the research calls a Resiliency Web. The RISK Pathways and Resiliency Web are used as a new framework for disaster governance that could help strengthen resilience of vulnerable communities.
