应急管理是一个复杂的政策子系统，涉及政府间、多阶段的减灾、备灾、响应和恢复工作。本文开发了一个分析灾害政策的财政和职能方面的框架。它利用既定的政府间关系理论为审查实施灾害政策所需的能力和推动政策制定的行为激励提供理论依据。特别是，本文确定了各级政府的能力和政治目标特征的一致程度，并通过审查联邦灾难资助流程说明了激励措施和能力之间的相互作用。目前的联邦预算规则可能不适当地促进救灾和恢复支出，同时淡化了减灾和备灾工作。各种改革建议可以建立更加连贯的激励措施，使救灾支出更加符合各级政府的相对职能能力。
Emergency management is a complex policy subsystem that involves an intergovernmental, multiphased effort to mitigate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. This article develops a framework for analyzing the fiscal and functional aspects of disaster policy. It uses established theories of intergovernmental relations to offer a rationale for examining the capabilities required to implement disaster policy and the behavioral incentives that drive policy formulation. In particular, the article identifies the extent to which the capabilities and political objectives characteristic of each level of government are aligned, and illustrates the interplay between incentives and competencies by reviewing the federal disaster funding process. The current rules for federal budgeting may inappropriately promote spending on disaster response and recovery, while de-emphasizing mitigation and preparedness. Various proposals for reform could establish more coherent incentives, making disaster spending more consistent with the relative functional capabilities of the various levels of government.
