Synopsis
Introduction to Emergency Management, Fourth Edition, offers a practical guide to the discipline of emergency management. It focuses on the domestic emergency management system of the United States, highlighting the lessons and emerging trends that are applicable to emergency management systems in other parts of the world.
The book begins by tracing the historical development of emergency management from the 1800s to the present world of homeland security. It then discusses the hazards faced by emergency management and the methods of assessing hazard risk; the function of mitigation and the strategies and programs emergency management or other disciplines use to reduce the impact of disasters; and emergency management preparedness.
The book also covers the importance of communication in the emergency management of the twenty-first century; the functions and processes of disaster response; government and voluntary programs aimed at helping people and communities rebuild in the aftermath of a disaster; and international emergency management. It also addresses the impact of September 11, 2001 on traditional perceptions of emergency management; and emergency management in the post-9/11, post-Katrina environment.
* Expanded coverage of risk management * Enhanced coverage of disaster communications, including social networking sites like Twitter * More material on mitigation of disasters * Up-to-date information on the role of FEMA in the Obama administration

Hard Back. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. Fourth Edition. 402 Pages Indexed. No defects to this pristine book with glossy laminated pictorial boards. Interior text pages are flawless. No country, community, or individual is immune to the impacts of disasters. Disasters can be prepared for, responded to, and their consequences mitigated. The profession and academic discipline that addresses this management of disasters is called emergency management, and this book is designed to provide the reader with a comprehensive foundation on the history, structure, organization, systems, and concerns that shape the management of disasters and other emergencies. Contained are details and descriptions of contemporary emergency management practices and this book will provide the reader with a working knowledge of how the functions of emergency management operate and the influence they can have on everyday life. This fourth edition represents the current status of the discipline. The 2001 terrorist attacks set in motion events that changed not only the way governments address the terrorism attacks but also the way members of the public, and businesses prepare for disaster events. Popular opinion is that these actions were mostly knee-jerk and the failed response to Hurricane Katrina confirmed such fears. In 2005, we saw a national system of emergency management-once regarded as one of the most effective and emulated systems in the world, proven incompetent in responding to an event that had been long predicted, planned for, and studied: Hurricane Katrina. Contents inn Ten Chapters: The Historical Contest of Emergency Management, Natural and Technological Hazards and Risk Assessment, The Disciplines of Emergency Management Mitigation, The Disciplines of Emergency Management Preparedness, The Disciplines of Emergency Management Communications, The Disciplines of Emergency Management Response, The Disciplines of Emergency Management Recovery, International Disaster Management, Emergency Management and the Terrorist Threat, and the Future of Emergency Management.
