The SETS approach to analyzing hurricane effects places into historical context the role of social and technological factors, and compares social and ecological resilience on the same temporal scales. Written from the perspective of a Puerto Rican scientist who experienced Maria's wrath first-hand, the book uses extensive empirical knowledge of the ecological effects of hurricanes on Caribbean forests and combines that knowledge with a detailed analysis of the effects of Hurricane María on the social and technological fabric of Puerto Rico. The comparison suggests that the effects of extreme events are dictated not only by the strength of the physical event, but also by the conditions of affected SETS at the time when the event exerts influence over them. Moreover, SETS have historical legacies that influence how resilient they can be when affected by an extreme event. Therefore, preparation and response to extreme events require an integrated social, ecological, and technological effort, known as the SETS response. The SETS response requires an understanding of the energetics of extreme events and their effects on the economy, which in turn determines social and technological resilience. Hurricane María demonstrated that the social and technological systems of Puerto Rico were not adapted to dealing with extreme events, in contrast with the ecological systems, which were. Hurricane María?s effect on Puerto Rico can be used as an example from which valuable lessons emerge for making SETS more adaptable and resilient to extreme events. 410 0$aEnergy Analysis,$x2191-7876 606 $aEnergy security 606 $aUrban geography 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aUrban ecology (Biology) 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aEnergy Security$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/121000 606 $aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aUrban Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19160 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 615 0$aEnergy security. 615 0$aUrban geography. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aUrban ecology (Biology). 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 14$aEnergy Security. 615 24$aUrban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns). 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aUrban Ecology. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 676 $a551.552 700 $aLugo$b Ariel E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0997330 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337589303321 996 $aSocial-Ecological-Technological Effects of Hurricane María on Puerto Rico$92287401 997 $aUNINA
