In November of 1993, a total of 108 participants in disaster
planning, response, and relief efforts were interviewed about their community action
agencies' activities during disasters. The Disaster Planning and Relief Efforts Summary
includes 90 case studies from the survey, charts and graphs of the compiled data, and a
summary of all responses to the questionnaire. The Summary has eight chapters, one for
each type of disaster studied: Earthquake, Fire, Flood, Hurricane, Storms, Tornadoes, and
Other. This Summary will assist your agency in disaster preparedness and planning.

Role of CAAs in Disasters
OCS hired
us to look at how CAA's had been involved in several disasters that took place
from the 1960's to 1994. We interviewed 108 CAA's that had been involved
in Hurricanes like Hugo, Iniki and Andrew, or that had helped on fires,
floods, tornados and other calamities. There have been a
LOT of disasters over the years that resulted in an official Presidential
Declaration. The findings were shaped into 59 "lessons
learned." We have been delayed a few days in getting this
up here because the report was produced in WordPerfect and we had to
convert it to Word. Download the free report by clicking
