Abstract
An introduction to a special issue of the Journal of Risk and Uncertainty dealing with the implications of catastrophic events for research on risk and uncertainty. What are the
consequences of natural disasters? How do individuals and firms respond to such
disasters? How do insurers respond, and how should the government respond? Several
of these papers will have a strong normative component as they will suggest what actions
individuals, firms, and the government should take in anticipation of natural disasters.
