The implementation of disaster risk management is the prerogative of the local sphere of government. I am interested in interrogating the sphere's political, legislative and administrative dynamics and how they affect the implementation of disaster mitigation and preparedness mechanisms particularly in vulnerable communities.

Disaster mitigation and preparedness are impacted by the political-administrative dichotomy because political leaders and administrators often have different priorities. Politicians might focus on short-term gains and popularity, while administrators typically aim for long-term planning and efficient implementation. This can lead to delays, inadequate preparation, and inconsistent responses to disasters, as their differing agendas and approaches can cause conflicts and inefficiencies.
We explore this question a lot through disaster diplomacy http://www.disasterdiplomacy.org especially the two books http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415679930 and https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004316140
