“…This was evident in the response to Hurricane Katrina. Testimonies from local churches in Baton Rouge and its surrounding areas indicate that there was no prior formal disaster training, no clear division of tasks and no institutionalized communication network (Cain & Barthelemy, ; Pipa, ; Trader‐Leigh, ). As a result, the churches felt that there was a great degree of uncertainty as to what their roles were in relation to FEMA and the American Red Cross (Pipa, , pp.…”

Increasingly, countries around the world are adopting policies that emphasize the importance of partnerships for disaster resilience. The overarching questions that this paper investigates are how to form and sustain (1) effective collaborative arrangements involving governments, businesses, non-governmental organizations and communities to ensure development of disaster resilient communities, and (2) governance institutions that can effectively mobilize geographically dispersed disaster response resources with fragmented ownership. We have reviewed case studies of alternative inter-sectoral collaborative arrangements that were formed to (1) promote the development of resilient communities and critical physical and social systems; (2) mitigate or respond to emerging crises; or (3) facilitate post-disaster recovery and learning.We have developed grounded propositions articulating the antecedents of performance of inter-sectoral collaborative arrangements.

“…Across the globe, social services before, during and after disasters are likely to be provided by governmental or non-governmental organisations, with different roles, remits and types of provision (Cain and Barthelemy, 2008;Kulkarni et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2013). Social work research on disasters further differentiates between faith-based organisations and other non-governmental service providers (Cain and Barthelemy, 2008). All can operate across governance levels, from local to international (Lesnik and Urek, 2010;Pawar, 2008).…”

“…A key concern highlighted throughout the literature is the degree of flexibility and responsiveness that services have at grass-roots level when responding to a disaster. Several studies suggest that governmental services are too bureaucratised to allow the flexibility and scope of delivery necessary to respond to a disaster (Cain and Barthelemy, 2008;Cherry and Cherry, 1997;Kulkarni et al, 2008;Manning and Kushma, 2016;Sherraden and Fox, 1997). They are not designed to 'respond to sudden changes in their service population' (Kulkarni et al, 2008: 419).…”

“…In contrast, non-governmental service providers are characterised in the literature as flexible and first responders to disaster in affected communities (Smith, 2012;Webber and Jones, 2013). In some countries, such as the USA, faith communities and organisations are suggested as the preferred providers of assistance, both at the site of a disaster and at the locations where people are evacuated (Cain and Barthelemy, 2008). However, a vibrant non-governmental sector may be lacking in many areas.…”

“…Some such organisations, particularly at the site of a disaster, may themselves temporarily or permanently disappear due to the disaster's impact on their own membership and infrastructure; others may need to find new organisational strategies to provide services and meet both existing and new needs (Smith, 2012). Faith-based organisations may also struggle to recruit and train sufficient numbers of volunteers (Cain and Barthelemy, 2008).…”

Organisation and delivery of social services in extreme events: Lessons from social work research on natural disasters

Based on a rapid review of social work research literature on natural disasters, this article offers an original synthesis of lessons about the nature and organisation of social services in the context of natural disasters. Drawing on social practice theory, existing intervention models are problematised, offering a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics between diverse types and levels of organisation, differing constituencies of disaster survivors, and differing environments in which they encounter. The paper also identifies elements of good organisational practice and sets an agenda for wider professional debate on the role of social work in international social development practice.

With the increase in the severity of natural disasters linked to climate change, the role religious congregations play in response is not well known, despite their substantial involvement in general charitable activity. Most disaster response research is event-based, ex post, and not focused on religious institutions or donor capacity considerations. Data from the National Study of Congregational Economic Practices fill this gap. The findings indicate that in 2017, a substantial percentage of US congregations participated in disaster-related charitable giving and volunteering. However, the profiles of participating congregations are nuanced and do not always follow prior theory. A congregation's religious tradition is less predictive than some might expect in the context of disasters. Consistent with open systems theory, we find that congregations' interorganizational networks and their proximity to disaster areas are better predictors of participating in disaster relief efforts. Based on our finding of robust congregational participation in disasters, we call for more integration of religious institutions in nonprofit disaster response research.
