| Description | Locating ECG's for study was the first field task. As a prerequisite we defined the ten, "Emergent Citizen Group." In the early stages of the project, ECG's were conceptualized as consisting of private citizens who were informally or formally organized at the local community level to puruse either general or potential disaters. This indicates that our interest lies only in relatively recent private citizen groups, and not those organizations whose members are now part of formal associations or well-established social movements. We excluded ECG'S which operate on other than a local basis; thus, we do not study primarily extra-community oriented groups (whether at a regional, state, or national level). Our focus is on those local groups which appear before or after a disaster and not those which emerge during the emergency the period, such as search and rescue teams. Under "disasters" we include all actual and potential incidents as enumerated in the federal disaster law, but we also include those ECG'S who might be attempting to get certain currently marginal threats (e.g., toxic wastes, landslides, etc.) defined as within the scope of the law. | en |
