The methods of disaster research are indistinguishable from those
used throughout the social sciences. Yet these methods must be
applied under unique circumstances. Researchers new to this field
need to understand how the disaster context affects the application
of the methods of research. This volume, written by some of the
world's leading specialists in disaster research, provides for the
first time a primer on disaster research methods. Among the topics
covered are qualitative field studies and survey research;
underutilized approaches such as cross-national studies,
simulations, and historical methods; and newer tools utilizing
geographic information systems, the Internet, and economic
modeling.
