Abstract: In Emergency Response to Domestic Terrorism: How Bureaucracies Reacted to the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing, Alethia Cook suggests that the success or failure of a disaster response situation is established in the first 12 hours. Cook suggests that if lessons learned extracted from an intensive analytical review of these initial response hours, within the context of theoretical management structure, were adopted by the disaster response community, the likelihood of failure will be minimized. Cook presents such a study via an interview process of responders who arrived at the Oklahoma City bombing site within the first 12 hours.
