Abstract for Prof Aguirre's NSF Proposal #0129752.Aguirre. This Small Grant for Exploratory Research is being awarded to the Disaster Research Center at the University of Delaware for project in Veracruz and Puebla, Mexico, in collaboration with Dr. Jesus Manuel Macias of CIESAS, Mexico City. The objectives of the project are to better understand: (1) the societal reactions to the extensive flooding that occurred in the two Mexican states in 1999; (2) the systems of warnings and evacuations that took place during these floods; (3) the extent to which established empirical generalizations in the social science of disasters regarding warnings and evacuations are applicable in a developing country. The project uses multiple methodologies to investigate these issues: (1) community survey of randomly selected residents in cities impacted by the 1999 floods; (2) content analysis of newspapers, agency reports, and other textual information on the societal reaction; (3) extended field work employing observational and intensive interviews of victims and officials; (4) the use of key informants to ascertain recent, post 1945 changes in the vulnerability of the communities.

阿吉雷教授的 NSF 提案#0129752.Aguirre 的摘要。 这笔探索性研究小额赠款将授予特拉华大学灾害研究中心，与墨西哥城 CIESAS 的 Jesus Manuel Macias 博士合作，在墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯和普埃布拉开展项目。该项目的目标是更好地了解：（1）社会对1999年墨西哥两个州发生的大范围洪水的反应； (2) 洪水期间发生的警报和疏散系统； (3) 灾害社会科学中关于警报和疏散的既定经验概括在多大程度上适用于发展中国家。 该项目使用多种方法来调查这些问题：（1）对受1999年洪水影响的城市中随机选择的居民进行社区调查； （二）报纸、机构报道等社会反应文字信息的内容分析； (3) 扩大实地工作，对受害者和官员进行观察和深入访谈； (4) 利用关键信息来确定 1945 年之后社区脆弱性的最新变化。
