It draws on personal interviews, focus groups, and surveys to understand how disasters challenge the typical operational protocols of law enforcement, the organizational expectations during times of crisis, the impact of police culture on the actions and reaction of officers, their adaptive and maladaptive behavioral responses during a disaster, the impact of stress on their ability to function, key challenges faced after a disaster, the factors that aid officers in reconstructing their lives after a disaster and the protocols law enforcement agencies can use to mitigate negative impacts on their well-being, similarities and differences in the disaster work experience of officers in different cultural contexts, and what agencies do to train officers to be more resilient. It also discusses challenges that lead to role strain or role conflict among officers, factors that contribute to abandonment of posts of duty, what happens when officers engage in police misconduct and criminal activities during disasters, and lessons learned. It draws on experiences with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Gulfport, Mississippi, in 2005; the Tornado Super Outbreak in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 2011; and the earthquake and tsunami in Santiago and Constitución, Chile, in 2010.
