Disasters have the potential to act as focusing events, which can increase the amount of attention on disaster-related problems and encourage policy action. Understanding of the political characteristics of disaster policymaking is underdeveloped, yet it is known that these features may be dissimilar to those of non-disaster policy areas, especially concerning the coalitions of policy actors engaged in the disaster policy process. Coalitions in the realm of disaster policy processes may be less likely to form, may look very different, and may have different goals than those in non-disaster domains. Knowledge of the emergence, composition, and purpose of coalitions in disaster policy is lacking. This paper draws on prior theory and case observations to define and describe the characteristics of a disaster policy subsystem and to build a typology of coalitions that may appear within such a subsystem, providing a foundation upon which scholars can work to study coalition dynamics in disaster policy subsystems.
灾难有可能成为焦点事件，这可能会增加人们对与灾难相关问题的关注，并鼓励采取政策行动。然而，人们对灾难决策的政治特征的理解还不够发达，据了解，这些特征可能与非灾难政策领域的特征不同，特别是在参与灾难政策过程的政策行为体联盟方面。灾难政策过程中的联盟可能不太可能形成，可能看起来非常不同，并且其目标可能与非灾难领域的目标不同。关于灾难政策中的联盟的出现、组成和目的的知识还很缺乏。本文借鉴了先前的理论和案例观察，定义和描述了灾难政策子系统的特征，并构建了可能出现在该子系统中的联盟类型，为学者们研究灾难政策子系统中的联盟动态提供了基础。
