Abstract
Description
Disaster and hazards research has raised questions about the
extremely complex relationship between causality and responsibility
for disaster consequences of both natural and technological hazard
agents. Differences in individual perception of and response to
threats from natural versus technological hazards have been
extensively debated (cf, Baum et al. 1983; Kroll-Smith and Couch
1990) as has the similarity of collective and organizational
response to natural and technological disasters (Quarantelli and Dynes 1976).
