N2  - The purpose of this paper is to review and respond to the preceding five articles in the special issue [Ed.: Gilbert, Dombrowsky, Kreps, Porfiriev, and Horlick-Jones in Vol. 13, No. 3 (November 1995)]. My principal charge is to look at the authors' approaches to answering the question of "What is a disaster?" and respond to their considerations. In doing this, I have outlined a variety of what I believe to be "excluded" perspectives in these formulations of what constitutes disasters.     <p>Language: en</p>
