ranging from political conflict in Fiji to the 1999 earthquake in Turkey. Other case studies included the Indian 
Ocean tsunami of 2004 (Henderson, 2005); SARS (Henderson & Ng, 2004; Wen et. al. 2005); Bali bombings in 
2002 (Hitchcock & Putra, 2005); terrorists attacks on September 11, 2001 (Stafford et. al. 2002); U.K. Foot and 
Mouth disease (Williams & Ferguson, 2005); Asian financial crisis (Henderson, 1999); political turmoil (Ioannides 
& Apostolopoulos, 1999; Richter, 1999); and floods (Faulkner & Vikulov, 2001). A common theme among these 
case studies was the enumeration of crisis management strategies used and the evaluation of the applicability of 
different crisis management models. However, it was rare among these cases that there was the degree and 
magnitude of negative images and publicity that dominated the world media as there was during and after Hurricane 
Katrina.
