There is little known about the reasons for such variations. This report is a brief attempt to outline an analytical framework that will explain the organization operating under stress, following a disaster. It is suggested that variation in the response of organizations may be explained by using four general input variables (normative structure, interpersonal structure, internal resources, and external resources) plus relevant factors of the disaster. It is suggested that the scheme may also be of use in the analysis of any kind of organizational stress, not only disaster situations

There appears to be a marked variation in the manner in which different organizations respond to a disaster. There is little known about the reasons for such variations. This report is a brief attempt to outline an analytical framework that will explain the organization operating under stress, following a disaster. It is suggested that variation in the response of organizations may be explained by using four general input variables (normative structure, interpersonal structure, internal resources, and external resources) plus relevant factors of the disaster. It is suggested that the scheme may also be of use in the analysis of any kind of organizational stress, not only disaster situations
