Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies
http://www.massey.ac.nz/~trauma/
The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies is a peer-reviewed
electronic journal utilising the Internet as a medium for the collation and
distribution of original material on disaster and psychological trauma
studies within Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific rim. It is being
funded initially by the School of Psychology, Massey University in New
Zealand. Research and professional practice covering disaster and trauma
work is growing within this region but there is currently a lack of a
dedicated journal serving those with a direct interest in this area.
Launching this electronic journal on the Internet offers a relatively
cost-effective means of providing this medium, and one which offers the
potential for the prompt publication of articles and the dissemination of
information to those with an interest in this topic.
Australian Journal of Emergency Management

The Australian Journal of Emergency Management
(AJEM) has been
a part of Emergency Management Australia, in various forms, since 1986. The
journal began as The Macedon Digest in March 1986, then in Autumn 1995 the
name was changed to the Australian Journal of Emergency Management. In
Spring 1996 the look of the journal underwent radical change as it
transformed into the colourful product of today
Mass Emergencies
http://www.massemergencies.org/
Fourteen issues of Mass Emergencies were published by Elsevier Scientific
of Amsterdam from 1975 through 1979. The journal had been
started by E. L. Quarantelli, Co-Director of the Disaster Research Center
(then located at The Ohio State University), and Jiri Nehnevajsa,
University Center for Urban Research (University of
Pittsburgh). It was abruptly discontinued by Elsevier in 1979
after only two issues of Volume 4 had been published. This Web
site makes available the contents of those fourteen issues (including one
double issue). All files are PDF documents; Adobe Reader® is required.

share experiences in chemical incident management and allied issues.
