Presents findings of the response system that evolved following the Great Hanshin, Japan earthquake on January 17, 1995. The study was initially designed to examine the processes of self-organization specifically in the medical response to this earthquake. However, in making plans for the study, it became clear that the medical response was inseparable from the larger disaster response system, given the interdependent characteristics of local and intergovernmental disaster management in Japan. Consequently, this study addresses the process of self organization in the broader disaster response system for this earthquake, with particular attention to emergency medical services
