| | Beyond September 11th: An Account of Post-disaster Research |
 | | In response to the September 11 attacks, state and local governments across the United States activated their emergency response plans and communication processes, in some cases revealing deficiencies in those preparations. |
 | | Although a number of unusual and unanticipated circumstances had to be dealt with during the course of responding to the September 11th disaster, in general the agencies, organizations, personnel, and procedures already in place proved to be workable and flexible enough to meet new and unexpected contingencies. |
 | | On September 11, 2001, each of these disaster response mechanisms was put to a new test, as were the emergency response capabilities of New York, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, and the rest of the nation. |
