The 50th anniversary of the Disaster Research Center of the
University of Delaware provoked a discussion of the field's
background, its accomplishments, and its future directions.
Participants representing many disciplines brought new methods to
bear on perennial problems relevant to effective disaster
management and policy formation. However, new concerns were raised,
stemming from the fact that we live today in a globally unfolding
environmental crisis every bit as pressing and worrisome as that of
the 1960s when the Disaster Research center was founded. This
volume brings together ideas of participants from that workshop as
well as other contributors. Topics include: the history and
evolution of disaster research, innovations in disaster management,
disaster policy, and ethical considerations of disaster research.
Readers interested in science and technology, public policy,
community action, and the evolution of the social sciences will
find much of interest in this collection.
