The initial focus is on emergent groups. The authors went looking for emergent groups and found some. They also found there was considerable emergent phenomena. Clues about the nature of emergent groups are provided. While the full range of tasks is unclear overall, groups seem to focus on highly emergent relevant tasks such as the co-ordination of inter-organisational operations, diffusion of public information, mobilization of resources, exercise of authority, setting of policies, damage assessment, search and rescue, provision of emergency medical services, clean up and home repair, etc. The general findings and observations about emergent groups in disasters are drawn from approximately thirty different disaster agent situations in different parts of the United States. Conclusions base themselves on these observations outlining implications for disaster planning and response
