Abstract:

Effective disaster management requires advanced planning. News media centers, public information hot-lines, and on-site volunteer procedures must be established in anticipation of large scale emergencies. This article reviews planning programs and policies of 250 public agencies associated with disaster-prone communities, and describes managerial perspectives of disaster planning policy.
