| Title: Managing the Effects of a Volcanic Eruption: Psychological Perspectives on Integrated Emergency Management | |||
| Author: Paton, Douglas, et al. | Affiliation: School of Psychology, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand | ||
| Abstract: This paper describes organisational responses to the 1995 eruptions at Ruapehu volcano, New Zealand. The survey identified coordination, communication, training and management issues that had implications for the quality and effectiveness of the integrated organisational response to volcanic hazard effects. The discussion focuses on organisational structure and social (professional) identity, decision making processes and group dynamics to illustrate the nature and origin of organisational problems and to define strategies for their resolution and for promoting effective inter-organisational relationships and integrated emergency management capability. | |||
