Abstract
Description
The Disaster Research Center sent a two-man team of observers to the stricken area two days after the impact. Their activities consisted mainly in observing the operations of the Emergency Operations Center and in making contacts with local Civil Defense and Red Cross officials. Due to the magnitude of the response to the storm and in the interests of data manageability, the present study has a very specific focus. We are concerned with obtaining a detailed descriptive account of activities in t e realm of three disaster-related task areas: warning; evacuation, search and rescue; and community order. On the basis of these detailed accounts and responses to further structured probing, we shall conduct an analysis of community coordination from an inter-organizational relationships perspective.
