Framework Questions• What social, cultural and political economic trends will
shape potential for and response to future disasters?
• How can DSTS (Disaster Science and Technology Studies) be mobilized to inform disaster prevention, preparedness and response?
• How can DSTS be supported financially and organizationally?

Lessons• Rapid response to disasters from the scientific community
is extremely important
• Sometimes it falls to individual scientists to take action
• Communicating findings to the public is an essential part of disaster research

Conclusion• There is a growing interest in and need for disaster
research• Disaster scientists are valuable research subjects• Future researchers must be educated• The next disaster must be prepared for
