In this paper the authors briefly indicate the need and the value of doing cross-cultural research on disasters and detail something about the nature of the studies so far undertaken, implying thereby some of their limitations. The second half of the paper elaborates a framework which might be used to systematize cross-cultural studies of disasters, suggests some substantive research priorities and indicates in what ways such work might be organized. This paper, therefore, is a review of the state-of-the-art and a programmatic paper and neither develops theory nor presents research findings on the social and behavioral aspects of natural and technological disasters
