The purpose was to examine the community's response to the storm, which was disastrous in its magnitude. The effective response was considered to be the result of a simulated disaster 16 months previously. The authors of the first report returned again to determine the actual relationship between the simulation and the actual disaster. This document is a report on that second trip to Sydney.

In October 1974, a research team from Ottawa's Carleton University visited Sydney, Nova Scotia, following a violent windstorm. The purpose was to examine the community's response to the storm, which was disastrous in its magnitude. The effective response was considered to be the result of a simulated disaster 16 months previously. The authors of the first report returned again to determine the actual relationship between the simulation and the actual disaster. This document is a report on that second trip to Sydney. The report shows that although the city of Sydney failed to take advantage of some of the possible benefits of the simulation, it does appear, overall, to have had a positive effect on the community's ability to respond to a disaster
