Microcomputer Use in State and Local Disaster Preparedness and Response

重要的新技术正变得越来越可用， 减少灾害领域的专业人员。 这项工作的重点是 使用微型计算机的模式和结果， 州和地方应急管理人员在准备和应对 地震和其他自然灾害。 项目的具体目标 是：（1）文件微机使用的国家和地方紧急 灾害准备和响应的管理人员，（2）探索 微计算机实现对内部 国家和地方紧急情况的运作和外部联系模式 （3）管理机构，（4）确定未来的需求 关于微电脑的使用。 数据将 从组织样本中收集的数据， 灾难事件。

Important new technology is becoming increasingly available to professionals in the hazards reduction field. This effort focuses upon the patterns of implementation and outcomes of microcomputer use by State and local emergency managers in preparing for and responding to earthquakes and other natural disasters. Specific goals of the project are to: (1) document microcomputer use by State and local emergency managers for disaster preparedness and response, (2) explore the consequences of microcomputer implementation on the internal functioning and external linkage patterns of State and local emergency management agencies, and (3) identify the future needs of such organizations in regards to microcomputer usage. Data will be collected from a sample of organizations both before and after major disaster events.
