Research On Disaster

Comments on Bushnell's review of four disaster studies (see record 1957-02694-001), contending that if behavioral scientists become interested in research on human behavior in disaster, they should define these interests and design their research projects in the context of their own interests and competence--with, of course, a serious effort to become familiar with the preceding work. There are various sources of support to which potential investigators can turn and there is now a literature from which scientific interests and research designs might grow.
