This project, funded as a NSF SGER in response to Hurricane Katrina, is a scholarly study of organizational constraints on federal disaster activities of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Coast Guard. The research will consist of data collection about perceptions of each organization's performance in Hurricane Katrina, analysis of rule-making and budgetary changes in affecting each organization's outputs, and initial development of a dynamic model of organizational processes. The organizational process model will focus on the dynamics of agency adoption of new missions where agency information processing capacity is serial rather than parallel.The project team will collect secondary data from publicly available data archives and a limited number of interviews in order to better understand the changes over time in organizational structures and responsibilities for federal emergency management. These interviews are to be selected as a dozen or so individuals among current and prior congressional and agency staff who can provide insights about these issues. The data will be used to develop the model and to report on the particular organizational bottlenecks in emergency management.

该项目由 NSF SGER 资助，以应对卡特里娜飓风，该项目是一项针对联邦紧急事务管理署 (FEMA) 和美国海岸警卫队联邦灾害活动的组织限制的学术研究。该研究将包括收集有关每个组织在卡特里娜飓风中表现的看法的数据，分析影响每个组织产出的规则制定和预算变化，以及组织流程动态模型的初步开发。 组织过程模型将重点关注机构采用新任务的动态，其中机构信息处理能力是串行而不是并行的。项目团队将从公开的数据档案和有限数量的访谈中收集二手数据，以便更好地了解联邦应急管理的组织结构和职责随着时间的推移而发生变化。 这些访谈将从现任和前任国会和机构工作人员中选出十几个左右的人，他们可以提供有关这些问题的见解。 这些数据将用于开发模型并报告应急管理中的特定组织瓶颈。
