Perhaps you could make a direect contact with FDNY, asking if they would be willing to assist you by distributing you survey? Yes there are members of FDNY here on FFN, but not all of the FDNY FF's.

Although I'm not a person who can assist with your research, I do have a question. What do you mean by "social capital's effect on emergency management effectiveness"?


By the way, good luck with your study.

That is a question that is generally asked to me. Social capital has different perspectives, one of which is quality of the relationships between the individual and the environment.

In this case If a FF's relationships with his/her environment (friends, organization, even other orgs.) has a quality, then his interactions (and hence his/her organization's interaction) will be better.

Or I hypothize it so :)

I think the question might make a little more sense to people now! The effect of personal relationships on a firefighters intereaction with his/her organisation. A question is often thought about. I still think it might be better for you to approach the FDNY to gain access to their employees, I believe we have some here as members, but certainly not all.
