Abstract

The following article introduces the concept of “spontaneous planning” and examines its applicability in response to the September 9th, 2010, gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno, California. Our case study offers a detailed picture of the unique nexus between planning and improvisation, and argues that spontaneous planning may facilitate more effective post-disaster operations.
