520 "In Playing Politics with Natural Disaster, Timothy
Kneeland describes how the administration of Richard Nixon
exploited the Hurricane Agnes flooding for political gain
and then eroded a generation of natural disaster
legislation that had been steadily moving toward the
federalization of United States natural disaster policy.
With a strong focus on specific events in New York and
Pennsylvania, Kneeland narrates how local, state, and
federal authorities responded to the immediate crisis and
then managed the long term recovery from Hurricane Agnes
which caused billions of dollars in damage from Florida to
New York and led to the death of 122 people. Kneeland's
book will be the first to consider the Agnes disaster in
terms of its multi-state consequences and to explain how
the political response to the disaster shaped both state
and federal natural disaster policy from that time to the
present era"--|cProvided by publisher
