Book excerpt: "The Committee on Natural Disasters of the National Research Council was formed to study the impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes on engineered structures and systems. The objectives of the committee's work are to improve protection against disasters by providing factual reports of the consequences of these extreme events of nature and to stimulate research needed to understand the hazards posed by natural disasters. When the tornadoes of March 28, 1984, struck a number of small towns in South Carolina, Peter Sparks of the Department of Civil Engineering, Clemson University, was asked by the committee to survey the damage to engineered structures and prepare a report. Professor Sparks is one of several structural engineers who had previously volunteered to make postdisaster studies for the committee. Following the field survey, a structural analysis and a wind tunnel test of one of the damaged commercial buildings were completed at Clemson University. This report to the Committee on Natural Disasters covers Professor Sparks' field survey immediately following the tornadoes and the subsequent analysis and wind tunnel test."--Foreword, page v.

It provides an interdisciplinary approach to disasters with theoretical, methodological, and practical applications. Attention is given to conceptual issues dealing with the concept "disaster" and to methodological issues relating to research on disasters.
