Abstract
As emphasized previously, the lines that demark human responses across the life cycle of a disaster are blurred. Yet, once the earliest warnings have been issued, additional forms of mobilization occur. Other sectors of the community beyond those involved in the initial aspects of the warning process gradually begin to monitor the impending threat with more concern. These responses take somewhat different forms depending upon the system level studied.
