Abstract

Disasters pose unique challenges to leaders. t'Hart (2014, p.172) describes the decision-making pressures: Leaders need to take highly consequential decisions in a context in which they can’t get the experts to study it for a few months. They have to act much faster than governments normally act. And often that acting involves doing quite unpleasant things, or disappointing a lot of people, or making tough decisions about the allocation of scarce resources
