Alice and the Looking-Glass Quest

Alice and the Looking-Glass Quest retells Lewis Carroll’s public-domain story as a fantastical introduction to emergency management principles, including planning, hazard awareness, prevention, response, recovery, mitigation, cooperation, and continuous improvement. The book has two parts. The first uses child-friendly language and newly generated Victorian-style pen-and-ink illustrations to help families explore how Alice confronts threats and reduces the harmful effects of hazards. The second offers an academic emergency management analysis that connects characters and scenes from this adaptation and Carroll’s original work to community preparedness and resilience. Its doctrinal and conceptual allegories support both academic study and community preparedness planning.


Central Characters

  • Alice is a curious and practical traveler who learns to pause, identify dangers, help others, improve plans, and choose safer routes.
  • The Red Queen represents strict rule-following and constant activity. The story presents the Queen as knowledgeable about routes and rules but inclined to confuse speed with progress.
  • The White Queen is kind but disorganized and tends to worry about trouble before checking facts.
  • Tweedledum and Tweedledee turn a minor disagreement into a major commotion, illustrating how conflict can distract from more urgent dangers.
  • Humpty Dumpty trusts a promised rescue instead of making his dangerous wall safer, linking pride, unclear language, and vulnerability.
  • The Lion and the Unicorn spend their energy fighting over a crown rather than addressing practical needs.
  • The White Knight is a well-intentioned helper whose inventions are sometimes useful but often create new problems because they are not evaluated carefully.
