Titel: The Crisis after the Disaster
Auteur: C. ten Hove
ISBN: 9789058504951
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt

This book contains the story of one of the survivors of the plane crash in Faro in 1992. It's also a report on the failure of systems and institutions that are intended to assist persons in need of support after such a disaster. Finally it is a testimony to the resilience and ingenuity of the individual, the survivor as well as his family and friends and committed professionals. December 21, 1992: A disaster struck Faro, Portugal. A Dutch Martinair DC-10 crashed at the airport leaving many passengers dead or wounded. Cor ten Hove, the author of this book, was a passenger on that plane. He survived, but his life would never be the same. In this book he describes the plane crash and the impact it has had on his life ever since. He has had to deal with, and is still dealing with problems relating to health care, insurance, cases, financial concerns, employment, interactions with government bureaucracies, and much more. The surveys included in this book, conducted among survivors and relatives of the victims of the Faro air disaster, show that this is not the story of one man. It's not even the story of only Faro air disaster survivors. Unfortunately it's the story of many individuals who have found the path to recovery littered with unanticipated obstacles. Modern society, its institutions and systems are poorly prepared to deal with complicated situations that persist in the long term. If a situation is too complex and lasts too long, the institutions in question increasingly seem to insist that the individual just needs to get over it and move on. The imperative is to face what this story says about the limited ability of societal systems to meet their obligations to the individuals who constitute society. The first step towards achieving this is to develop greater social awareness of the effects of disasters, so that inter-related effects are not treated as unrelated problems.
