THE FUNCTIONING OF ESTABLISHED ORGANIZATIONS IN COMMUNITY DISASTERS,

Abstract

Established organizations refer to those which respond, in a disaster context, with their regular personnel engaged in familiar tasks. A theoretical framework is presented viewing such organization's pre-disaster operations as constituting a situation where their capabilities exceed the demands made on them. From this conceptualization, certain hypotheses are derived indicating conditions of organizational stress. (Author)
