Abstract

The psycho-social and physical disruptions characterized as disasters occur quite frequently. Human factors professionals, like most individuals, tend not to think about disaster until it happens to them. The result is very little human factors research on topics pertinent to disaster management. Generalizations from the disaster literature are coupled with a review of exemplary human factors studies to explore some general principles of disaster management.
