Abstract: The primary purpose of this survey is to collect information regarding the economic impacts of a community following a disaster. In order to help these communities with their economic recovery efforts, the PSO plans to host workshops so that we can communicate their options to speed their recovery. Respondents are business owners or managers located in close proximity to a recent natural or terrorist disaster. The information will be used to assess the status of businesses along with their highest priority needs or concerns following the disaster.
