The methodological problems confronted by persons studying disaster responses are for the most part similar to problems confronted by those analyzing other social phenomena. There is neither a special set of strategies, which might be referred to as disaster methodology, nor a separate set of techniques which might be labelled disaster research methods. In this report three areas are explored: types of clarifications which appear critical, selected laboratory field techniques, and some suggestions for the design of future disaster research
