Abstract
Description
In this report we summarize research findings
on the general behavior of individuals/
households, organizations and communities in
the pre-,trans, and post-impact periods of
sudden natural and technological disasters.
This is done for the purpose of drawing
operational implications for those in the
insurance industry in the United States
responsible for planning and responding in
such situations. Since mass media outlets
would be one major way for reaching impacted
populations, some observations about the
mass operation of local community
communication systems are provided.
