TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Communication in Crisis, Communication in Recovery: A Postmodern Commentary on the Exxon Valdez Disaster JO - International journal of mass emergencies and disasters A1 - Browning, L. D. A1 - Shetler, JC SP - 477 EP - 498 VL - 10 IS - 3 N2 - This article is an application of the postmodern characteristics of simultaneity, chaos, unintended consequences, and multiple realities to the Exxon Valdez disaster. After postmodernity is applied to the Exxon Valdez case study, the changes in contingency planning, prevention, and response that have occurred since 1989, and their implications for the Pacific Rim, are reviewed. The theme of the paper is the use of differences for problem solving in emergencies.
