Abstract

<p>Many types of social weakness live in urban areas. In the USA, variety of needs by these minorities are usually left and are called “Unmet Needs ", while governments and big NPOs provide majority of disaster victims with their standard services, which is called “Mass Care “CBOs (Community Based Organizations) provide services for the minorities in normal times. They have the possibilities of applying the services to such unmet needs. After the Northridge Earthquake in Los Angeles in 1994, ENLA (Emergency Network of Los Angeles),the network organization of CBOs, was established. While developing capacity building for CBOs to respond to disasters, ENLA has expanded its network with governments and big NPOs. We can learn valuable lessons from its contribution.</p>
