- Abstract
- This report and its companion report provide information on practical preparation of a small community's resources for coping with major fire disasters and other disaster contingencies. Operations research techniques are employed in an analysis of disaster planning largely based on studies of New England communities. A manual format is used to present the results of this research study.
