Associate Professor
UCF School of Public Administration
Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at 6:00 p.m.
Tuscawilla Country Club

Winter Springs, FL 32708
Abstract
In the U.S., we continue to see an increase in billion-dollar disasters. The 2017 Hurricane Season - most notably Harvey, Irma and Maria caused an estimated $300 billion in damages and tested those communities’ disaster resilience. Long-term recovery planning is an essential element of a community's resiliency. However, the majority of local governments lack the capacity for long-term planning, which has led to repeated policy and organizational failures during and after disasters. Dr. Claire Connolly Knox, an expert on post-disaster resilience planning and policy, will present the results of her research with examples from Florida, Louisiana, and Texas.
Biography
Claire Knox, Ph.D. is an associate professor and the Emergency Management and Homeland Security Program Director in UCF's School of Public Administration. Her research interests include environmental policy and management, Habermas' critical theory, and environmental vulnerability and disaster response. Dr. Knox's interdisciplinary research applies a discursive theory lens to language underlying environmental and emergency management plans and policies.
Originally from southern Louisiana, she was an interpretative specialist at the USGS National Wetlands Research Center for the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act, and then a Planning Assistant with the Lafayette Parish Traffic and Transportation Department.
Her research on Louisiana's coastal zone planning after multiple disasters received the William J. Petak Best Paper Award at ASPA's National Conference from the Section on Emergency and Crisis Management. In 2015, she received the Florida Emergency Preparedness Association's Gary Arnold for her dedication to improving Florida's emergency management community. She is a board member of ASPA's Section on Environmental and Natural Resource Administration and Section for Emergency and Crisis Management.

Sober Knights is a group of students of all ages who like to have fun without alcohol. This group is not a recovery group or program. But if you are in recovery, you are welcome to join us! Our purpose is to foster friendships that support sober living and have fun while in college without feeling like you missed out on making friends and meeting new people!

]]>Anorexics and Bulimics Anonymous is a Fellowship of individuals whose primary purpose is to find and maintain sobriety in our eating practices, and to help others gain sobriety. In our healing process we use the Twelve Steps, adapted from Alcoholics Anonymous, to address the mental, emotional, and spiritual components of an eating disorder. We learn in ABA that eating disorders are a form of addiction, that the key to recovery is finding sobriety in eating and exercise patterns, and that none of us can do that alone. ABA is a welcoming and caring community and offers support to anyone with a desire to stop unhealthy eating practices.
