The Need for Communities
Disaster• Relate as People• Orgs are the problem• People are the
solution
Normal (routine emergencies)• People relate as roles• People are the problem• Orgs are the solution
Catastrophe• Society breaks down• No relationships –
survival• Only happened a few
times (Hiroshima)
