This is, obviously, a time-consuming process. In spite of its limita- tions, however, it must be followed if the processes of social disorganiza- tion and reorganization are to be fully understood. Selecting Informants Sampling "Points of Observation" Most field studies include a reconstruction of the natural history of 17 the disaster, or of certain phases of it. In the collection of data for this history the subject has a dual role* He is a respondent, reporting his own reactions, and also an... informant, reporting his observations of what went on around him, including the behavior of other people. Informants must be selected as carefully and as systematically as are respondents. Bias in their selection may lead to a grossly inaccurate picture of what took place. In order to maximize accuracy, a number of informants representative of pop- ulations which viewed the disaster from different vantage points should be used. Position with reference to the Impact Zone, time of entry into the disaster area, degree of involvement, professional training and orientation, are among the factors which should be considered in selecting informants.
