Infos

Where most emergency management books focus almost exclusively on the nature of specific hazards and on how to respond, Comprehensive Emergency Management looks at the larger context within which response occurs and stresses the development of a program to address a wide range of issues.

---

This book propounds an all-hazards, multidisciplinary approach to emergency management. It discusses the emergency manager's role, details how to establish an effective, integrated program, and explores the components, including: assessing risk; developing strategies; planning concepts; planning techniques and methods; coordinating response; and managing crisis. Complete with case studies, this is an excellent reference for professionals involved with emergency preparedness and response.
