Ethnic Community Structure and the Use of Disaster Assistance

洛杉矶地区的西班牙裔人口是受1987年10月1日惠蒂尔地震直接影响最大的群体。该项目旨在向灾害援助组织和机构提供有关如何在未来地震前后最好地为这些不同人群提供服务的信息。将注意备灾问题，因为这关系到少数民族人口以及他们对紧急援助和恢复援助的需要。

The Los Angeles area's Hispanic population was the largest group directly affected by the Whittier earthquake which struck on October 1, 1987. This project is designed to provide information to disaster assistance organizations and agencies on how best to serve this diverse population before and after future earthquakes. Attention will be given to earthquake preparedness as it concerns ethnic populations as well as their need for emergency and recovery assistance.
