Description
Introduction to Emergency Management, Third Edition provides a comprehensive update of this foundational text on the background
components and systems involved in the management of disasters and other emergencies. The book details current practices, strategies,
and the key players involved in emergency management, especially in the U.S. but also around the world. Expanded coverage of local and
state issues, particularly as they need to interact and work with FEMA and other federal agencies, adds value to public administrators
locally tasked with protecting their community. The Third Edition is fully updated to cover FEMA's continually changing role within the
Department of Homeland Security and the impact and aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Lessons including proper planning, mitigation, in-crisis
decisions, evacuation, and recovery shed light on how managers can avoid devastating breakdowns in communication and leadership during
an event. Not only terrorist events but many such natural disasters require similar preparedess planning. Emergency planning is vital
to the security of entire communities and thus an essential focus for research, planning and training. This new edition continues in
its tradition of serving as an essential resource for students and young professionals in the discipline of Emergency Management.
