The present study is an attempt to update the University of Delaware's Disaster Research Center (DRC) typology, which has often been used as an analytical tool for developing disaster volunteer research in an international context, in light of recent research trends. First, recent studies using the DRC typology which consists of four types focusing on the tasks and organizational structure of disaster response organizations are reviewed. As a result, it became clear that there have been few theoretical studies on emergent type, although they have been sought after, and that the typology is static, making it difficult to treat dynamic emergent groups, but there have been some recent studies that have improved the typology. In light of these research trends, and of trends in disaster volunteer research in Japan, this paper attempts to update the DRC typology from the perspectives of emphasis on emergent type, dynamic development, serialization, extension of the classification axis, and externalization of the typology.
