Natural Disasters Operations Planning for Slowly Developing Disasters. Volume I,

Abstract

The paper describes a prototype natural disaster operations plan for slowly developing natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, or forest fires. An investigation was concerned with the emergency operations of local jurisdictions (municipalities or counties) and of the state pertaining to natural disasters. It considered the interactions among these jurisdictions from the initial organization and training phase through mobilization of local forces and evacuation, to eventual return and rehabilitation of the evacuees.
