Disaster 050
Disaster 050 :
"Differentiating a disaster from an accident "is the extensiveness of the involvement of organizations and other segments within the community... In a community disaster, the pattern of damage may extend to several different places in the community rather than being focalized as it is within a community accident. Also, a number of community structures, perhaps including those that might house the traditional emergency organizations, might be damaged or destroyed.... The increased involvement of other nonemergency organizations then creates the need for coordination of activity and for new patterns of communication among parts of the community that previously had no reason to communicate" (Dynes 1998, 119)
