Descriptions of organizing and role enactment during the emergency periods of disasters are developed from archival materials on 257 key participants in 106 organized responses. Organizing is measured as a continuum of formal organizing to collective behavior. Three unique dimensions of role enactment are isolated empirically: status-role nexus, role links, and role performance. The three dimensions are modeled in terms if the structural form and type of organizing within which role enactment occurs as well as a series of other structural and individual correlates. Findings from the modeling codify the disaster research legacy as it contributes to sociological theory
