| Summary/Abstract |
Why is it that some authorities, governments/administrations, and even entire regimes emerge from disasters more popular and politically stronger, while most appear to emerge less popular and politically weaker, sometimes fatally so? This paper argues that the often problematic political consequences of disasters can be understood more fully by seeing them as "Maslowian Shocks" with strong revelatory components where public estimation of government disaster response may be analyzed along six "5C+A" dimensions: capability, competence, compassion, correctness, credibility, and anticipation. The paper then illustrates the 5C+A framework with a set of cross-national examples and public opinion data from a 2001 post-earthquake survey in El Salvador.

| Summary/Abstract |
A recent paper in this journal proposed that post-impact public evaluations of governmental disaster performance may be usefully understood and analyzed along six "5C+A" dimensions: capability, competence, compassion, correctness, credibility, and anticipation. Using post-disaster public opinion data from El Salvador in 2001 and Peru in 2007, we offer the first empirical tests of this 5C+A approach, finding that it cannot be disconfirmed at this point and that public perceptions of the five "Cs" (capabilities, competence, compassion, correctness, and credibility) are clearly related to the public's overall estimations of governmental disaster response and evaluations of presidential disaster performance in some settings. Interestingly, the proposed "A" dimension (anticipation) drops out for both governments and leaders. The implications are serious for both researchers and practitioners interested in the rapidly evolving study of "the politics of disaster."
