摘要

This case study analyzes the response to Winter Storm Uri through the lens of adaptive governance, examining how Texas and the City of San Antonio navigated the disaster across mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases. Drawing from document analysis and interviews, the study identifies key challenges in representation, decision-making, public communication, and cross-sector coordination. Despite systemic weaknesses, the crisis prompted innovative responses and institutional learning. The findings underscore the urgent need for integrated, inclusive, and flexible governance structures to prepare for future climate-related disasters. Adaptive governance emerges not as a theory, but as a practical necessity for disaster management.
