Abstract
Description
The Disaster Research Center (DRC) was established at the Ohio
State University in 1963 and moved to the University of Delaware at
the end of 1984. The Center was the first of its kind in the world
and is the oldest in the United States. At the present time it is
one of the extremely few research operations anywhere that
maintains stand-by teams ready to launch immediate field studies of
impending disasters and actual disaster impacts.
