Subject: This volume summarizes a 24 month field project undertaken by the Disaster Research Center, that ran from June 1986 through May 1988. It is primarily aimed at disaster policy makers, disaster planners, and disaster researchers, although it may benefit many others. Part I of the report provides a general introduction to the study by presenting some background material. Part II specifically describes the postimpact organizational behaviour in Mexico City, while Part III narrows the focus to the human beings involved. Part IV, more analytical than descriptive, first sets forth the major research findings, then discusses the similarities and differences between the organizational and individual responses found in Mexico City to those observed in disasters elsewhere. It concludes with an indication of the implications for future research studies
