Risk, Hazards & Crisis in Public Policy, 2: 1–17. doi: 10.2202/1944-4079.106710.2202/1944-4079.1067https://hdl.handle.net/1805/3274Environmental hazards pose a considerable and genuine threat to the survival of organizations. However, organizations can increase their likelihood of survival by adopting various hazard adjustments. Prior studies on hazard adjustments have found a positive relationship between the adoption of hazard adjustments and organization size. However, no study on hazard adjustments has grouped hazard adjustments into active and passive and studied the relationship between active and passive hazard adjustments and organization size. The author investigates whether large organizations adopt more active and passive hazard adjustments than small organizations, using data from a survey of 227 organizations in Memphis, Tennessee. The results show that large organizations adopt more active and passive hazard adjustments than small organizations and both large and small organizations engage in different types of hazard adjustments.en-USemergency managementactive and passive hazard adjustmentsorganizationsMemphisTennesseeArticle
