As global tourism faces its greatest threat since World War II, the author draws on over 40 years of industry and academic experience to explore the core themes that underpin crises, their impact on the tourism industry and recovery. Focussing on this emerging issue in within the travel industry and academic tourism research, this author explores crisis management approaches from scholars, governments and tourism associations around the world. A dedicated chapter also covers the impact of Covid-19 on tourism industries and economies across the world and well as how nations from around the world responded to the global pandemic outbreak. The book is split by theme and features over 20 case studies, including 2020 Australian bush fires, 2019 Sri Lankan terror attack, SARS and Swine Flu, the collapse of Thomas Cook, the global and Greek financial crises and the threat to the Great Barrier Reef. Discussion questions and activities are included at the end of each chapter. Suitable reading for students on tourism and tourism crisis management modules.

On 18 January 2003, the ACT experienced an unprecedented fire disaster, causing the tragic death of four people, nearly 500 injuries treated at hospitals, the loss of 488 homes and over 90 community, educational, commercial and farm buildings; damage to many other homes and businesses, including rural properties and villages to the west of Canberra; and widespread destruction of physical infrastructure, forests and the environment generally. The total financial cost of the fires has been estimated at 350 million dollars. The scale of the effects of the January 2003 bushfire disaster on ACT citizens and the community and on public and private property led the ACT Government to conclude that there was a need for a specially focused approach to the ongoing direction of the recovery. While the majority of the Government response the disaster would be most effectively undertaken by existing Government and community sector agencies, the scale of the disaster, the wide range of responses required and the need to ensure that momentum and coordination was maintained led to the Government's decision to adopt a taskforce approach: •On the 24 January 2003, the Government announced the establishment of a Bushfire Recovery Taskforce to coordinate the government, community and business efforts to assist the victims of the disaster and the longer-term recovery of the ACT. •The Taskforce was to report to the Chief Minister as the Minister responsible for Bushfire Recovery. •A Community and Expert Reference Group (CERG) was established by the ACT Government on 3 February 2003 as a key advisory body to the Taskforce and Government on community recovery issues and as an essential two-way communication channel to ensure that the recovery strategy was informed by community views and needs, and by local knowledge and expertise. •The Taskforce and CERG were supported by a Bushfire Recovery Taskforce Secretariat, staffed mainly by seconded ACT public servants tasked with ensuring that the recovery process was a key priority through the ACT administration and that affected people's needs were responded to promptly. •The ACT Recovery Centre at Lyons was established on 24 January 2003 as a central point for bushfire affected residents to access information, advice, services and support. The role of the Taskforce was to advise the Government, provide leadership for the recovery and act as a bridge between Government agencies and the community.

This research documents a scientific and systematic analysis of community resilience, as demonstrated through the experience of disaster response and recovery in Australia. It focuses on rural and regional communities affected by natural disasters including fire, flood or cyclone. Its aim is to identify whether the people within affected communities lead their community recovery process, what key factors influence that process, whether community leadership is demonstrated during and after disasters, and what lessons can be learned by listening to the lived experience of community members. Australia's disaster management policy framework has at its core the National Strategy for Disaster Resilience (2011), agreed by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). At all levels in the Australian government and non-government sectors, disaster management policies and frameworks emphasize the central role of communities in disaster recovery, arguing that successful recovery engages communities and empowers community members to lead their own recovery. Such 'community led recovery' is advocated widely, however a systematic literature review has revealed little published scientific research about the community experience of disaster recovery, whether 'community led recovery' is a reality or a myth, or how to build resilient communities. This research investigated different perceptions and experiences of natural disasters in communities in Australia; identifying factors considered by the participants to be important to community resilience and recovery, and describing specific actions community members and others take to help themselves and one another. This study gathers data from two different groups: initially by interviewing ten individuals who have held disaster recovery leadership roles; and then by conducting fieldwork in four communities across eastern Australia, interviewing 112 community members. Both groups described their understanding of the key domains of community adaptation or recovery after natural disaster. They described the factors that support or hinder that process of community recovery, within each of these domains. Both groups described their observations and experiences of what occurs within disaster affected communities. In particular community members described their own actions and the actions of others. Clear findings emerge from the analysis of this data. It reveals substantial evidence of the presence and effectiveness of community leadership, and the significant contribution of community actions and activities in strengthening and supporting community resilience and recovery after natural disaster. It identifies lessons that can be learned from communities affected by disaster. These lessons emphasise the importance of what happens before the crisis, include implications of what happens during the crisis, and describe actions and activities that support the process of community adaptation after the crisis had passed. A significant feature of this research is that it provides a vehicle for the voices of community members: to share their experience of natural disaster and their powerful narratives about that experience. These narratives are of hope, courage and endurance and demonstrate the power of human connection, compassion and kindness. The findings of this study have significant implications for how governments, organisations and communities themselves prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters in the future.

Disasters and Public Health: Planning and Response, Second Edition, examines the critical intersection between emergency management and public health. It provides a succinct overview of the actions that may be taken before, during, and after a major public health emergency or disaster to reduce morbidity and mortality. Five all-new chapters at the beginning of the book describe how policy and law drive program structures and strategies leading to the establishment and maintenance of preparedness capabilities. New topics covered in this edition include disaster behavioral health, which is often the most expensive and longest-term recovery challenge in a public health emergency, and community resilience, a valuable resource upon which most emergency programs and responses depend. The balance of the book provides an in-depth review of preparedness, response, and recovery challenges for 15 public health threats. These chapters also provide lessons learned from responses to each threat, giving users a well-rounded introduction to public health preparedness and response that is rooted in experience and practice. Contains seven new chapters that cover law, vulnerable populations, behavioral health, community resilience, preparedness capabilities, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, and foodborne threats Provides clinical updates by new MD co-author Includes innovative preparedness approaches and lessons learned from current and historic public health and medical responses that enhance clarity and provide valuable examples to readers Presents increased international content and case studies for a global perspective on public health

This book provides insight on how disaster risk management can increase the resilience of society to various natural hazards. The multi-dimensionality of resilience and the various different perspectives in regards to disaster risk reduction are taken explicitly into account by providing studies and approaches on different scales and ranging from natural science based methods to social science frameworks. For all chapters, special emphasis is placed on implementation aspects and specifically in regards to the targets and priorities for action laid out in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction. The chapters provide also a starting point for interested readers on specific issues of resilience and therefore include extensive reference material and important future directions for research.
