Disasters can serve as focusing events that increase agenda attention related to issues of disaster response, recovery, and preparedness. Increased agenda attention can lead to policy changes and organisational learning. The degree and type of learning that occurs within a government organization after a disaster may matter to policy outcomes related to individual, household, and community-level risks and resilience. Local governments are the first line of disaster response but also bear the burden of performing long-term disaster recovery and planning for future events. Crow and Albright present the first framework for understanding if, how, and to what effect communities and local governments learn after a disaster strikes. Drawing from analyses conducted over a five-year period following extreme flooding in Colorado, USA, Community Disaster Recovery: Moving from Vulnerability to Resilience presents a framework of community-level learning after disaster and the factors that catalyse policy change towards resilience.

Albright, Elizabeth A.: - Dr. Elizabeth A. Albright, is an Associate Professor of the Practice at the Nicholas School of the Environment and engages in research around questions of local level resilience, and community learning in response to extreme events. Funded by the National Science Foundation, her work in Colorado was awarded the Paul A. Sabatier Award for Best Paper in Environmental Politics at the American Political Science Association annual meeting.

Crow, Deserai A.: - Dr Deserai A. Crow is an Associate Professor and researches local and state-level environmental policy, often focusing on crisis and disaster recovery and risk mitigation in local communities and natural resource agencies. Deserai's crisis and disaster work includes National Science Foundation funded work on disaster recovery, COVID-19 risk perceptions and behaviors as influenced by state-level policies, and environmental justice outcomes associated with local control of oil and gas regulations.
