Risk, vulnerability, and resilience

In this lecture, Dr. Lori Peek discusses sociological theories of disaster and vulnerability. She highlights the variables that characterize vulnerability to the impacts of disasters, and notes that much research on vulnerable populations does not focus on the social systems and power relations that exacerbate risk. She then discusses the pressure and release model to characterize the temporal impacts of disasters. She uses the example of a project on the Gulf Coast that looks at the impacts of oil spills on youth health, and she explains the range of methodological approaches used to measure these impacts. Finally, she discusses how she and collaborators have built on vulnerability research to create curricula for high school students to engage in disaster recovery.

Hello Dr. Lori Peek! I am Md. Jamilur Rahman from Bangladesh and I am studying M.Sc. in Environment Management at Independent University Bangladesh. One of our M.Sc. subject is Disaster Management. As a consequence of my study i have gone through the PRESSURE AND RELEASE model and have some question on it. As per PAR talked about various social aspect of disaster management and it only focused on access and ideology that creates dynamic pressure and drives the community to unsafe condition. so my question is why don't it think about transparency and accountability of the state? can you please make it a bit easier to me to understand PAR in a better way?
