This world has never been short on disaster. Nevertheless, given recent events and trends in scholarly literature and popular media, one can argue that urban disasters are acquiring new and complex meanings. This situation is partly due to the global expansion of urban societies where–in “the city”–the impacts of disastrous events are most clearly recognised (Davis 2002: 360-99; Schneider & Susser 2003). The topicality of disaster is also most likely partly due to the mix of seemingly universal 24-hour television news coverage, remote sensing and digital and novel social media that create new and ever larger publics and possibly public ‘demand’ for catastrophic events (Ashlin & Ladle 2007). Making for an even more complex picture, the growth in disaster studies, drawing on these and other sources, brings an array of conceptual frameworks and concerns (like risk and urban vulnerability) to the fore. The growth in number and authority of agencies responsible for the delivery of disaster relief, mitigation and planning, and for directing reconstruction efforts, has come to impose different agenda and interventions on disaster-struck populations. These include multiple levels of government, corporate and private agencies, and NGOs.
