Abstract
Description
This paper summarizes what social science research has established
about human and group behavior in the emergency time period of
disasters. First, we discuss the behavior of human beings at the
height of a disaster. This is followed by a similar discussion of
how groups react during the same time period. We conclude by very
briefly looking at whether the behaviors that have been observed in the last half century are likely to be the same in future decades.
