The Organizational and Public Response to the 19 September 1985 Mexico Earthquake

在地震发生后不久在墨西哥进行的初步接触的基础上，灾害研究中心将与拉丁美洲科学协会(FLACSO)和交流研究所(Instituto de Investigacion de la Communications，A.C.)开展一个合作项目。重点将是市长办公室在紧急时期协调各级政府以及私营和国际组织的工作。这项研究将着眼于发展应对地震带来的新任务的方法。它将专注于在公众可能对地震带来的新任务做出反应的情况下的决策问题。相辅相成的重点将是公众对这场灾难的反应。

Building on its initial contacts in Mexico made soon after the earthquake, the Disaster Research Center will conduct a collaborative project with La Facultad Latinoamericana de Sciencias Sociales (FLACSO) and the Instituto de Investigacion de la Communication, A.C. The focus will be on the Mayor's office effort to coordinate levels of government as well as private and international organizations during the emergency period. The research will look at the development of ways to respond to the new tasks created by the earthquake. It will focus on problems of decision making in the absence of public might respond to the new tasks created by the earthquake. A complementary focus will be on the public's response to the disaster.
