Abstract: The field of all-hazards management is beset by a plethora of local, state, and federal statutes and regulations implemented by a wide array of civilian and military agencies at various levels of government. Both in practice and in academia, the emphasis is too often on the differences and tensions between emergency management and homeland security, between civilian and military management authority, and between federal and other levels of government. This article provides an analytic framework for discovering the common constitutional roots among them, by integrating phases in the disaster management cycle with core constitutional functions, to create a "legal GIS system." This matrix can be a useful means for mapping sources of potential conflict and thus identifying areas in need of proactive, cooperatively oriented law reform.
