Community disaster and long-term organizational change.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: 1967Description: 11p., 8 refsSubject: This paper discusses some of the findings of a study on long-term change in a selected number of Anchorage organizations following the March 27, 1964, Alaska earthquake. When this disaster occurred, certain direct consequences or changes in the community became immediately apparent even to the most casual observer. People were killed and injured, and buildings and other kinds of physical structures were destroyed or damaged. However, there were social consequences to this catastrophic event. A number of Anchorage organizations also experienced some change in structure and functioning on a long-term basis as a result of the earthquake. As the term will be used in this paper, long-term organizational change refers to modifications in organizational patterns that have since become relatively durable features. Such changes are different from those temporary modifications in organizational patterns which occurred soon after the impact of the disaster in response to search and rescue problems
