When Hurricane Katrina slammed the Gulf coast, many organizations and individuals acted to try to respond to the needs of the thousands of people affected and to restore order in the chaotic aftermath of the storm. As is typical of disaster-response scenarios, these efforts involved multiple organizations with different areas of focus, making coordination of activities essential in order to avoid fragmentation, gaps in service, and wasteful duplication of services. This coordination is achieved largely through interorganizational networks, which serve as conduits for directives, information, and resources. The unfolding of these networks over time is a critical element of the response process, and the networks provide insight into the nature of interorganizational coordination during disasters. This project seeks to advance our understanding of interorganizational coordination in disaster response by analyzing the emergent multi-organization networks (EMONs) involved in the response to Hurricane Katrina and by exploring the potential for real-time intervention in such EMONs. Using novel computational and statistical methods, the research will capture, validate, and integrate data from news reports, official documents, and other information sources (such as blogs) to produce estimates of interorganizational interaction over time. The data produced by this research will be a key resource for social scientists, disaster researchers, information technologists, and policy analysts studying problems related to the Katrina response, and the findings, tools and methodologies derived from the research will be generalizable to a wide range of disaster-response situations.

当卡特里娜飓风袭击墨西哥湾沿岸时，许多组织和个人采取行动，试图满足数千名受灾民众的需求，并在风暴过后的混乱中恢复秩序。这些工作涉及多个组织，其重点领域各不相同，因此必须协调各项活动，以避免各自为政、服务空白和服务重复浪费。这种协调主要是通过组织间网络实现的，这些网络是指令、信息和资源的渠道。 随着时间的推移，这些网络的展开是应对过程的一个关键因素，这些网络使人们能够深入了解灾害期间组织间协调的性质。该项目旨在通过分析参与应对卡特里娜飓风的紧急多组织网络（EMONs），并探索在此类EMONs中进行实时干预的潜力，来提高我们对灾害响应中组织间协调的理解。使用新的计算和统计方法，研究将捕捉，验证和整合来自新闻报道，官方文件和其他信息来源（如博客）的数据，以产生随着时间的推移组织间互动的估计。这项研究所产生的数据将成为社会科学家，灾害研究人员，信息技术人员和政策分析人员研究与卡特里娜应对相关问题的关键资源，研究结果，工具和方法将推广到广泛的灾害应对情况。
