Subject: The attacks of September 11th, 2001, caught the natural hazards and technological risks communities as completely off-balance as they did the intelligence and military communities. Soon after these events, the Natural Hazards Center at Boulder issued a call to the hazards communities to marshall what they knew of extreme events and make it available to those responsible for responding to this new kind of hazard. An analysis of the coverage of the on-line edition of the Los Angeles Times was performed over twelve weeks after the attacks. A shift from the interest in the attacks to an interest in th emilitary response is noted and discussed.
