Mass Fatalities (eBook, ePUB)

Managing the Community Response

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A mass fatalities response goes far beyond returning the remains of a loved one to surviving family members. Those charged with this grim responsibility will find themselves immersed in multiple tasks involving diverse individuals, organizations, and priorities. This volume provides practical guidance to communities and responders as they plan for, respond to, and recover from a mass fatalities incident. Topics include managing resources and personnel; protecting a potential crime scene; search, recovery, identification, and return of remains; and providing family members, responders, and the impacted community the necessary support to cope with the physical, spiritual, and emotional stressors of this type of event.
