A Comprehensive All-Hazards Approach

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

For effective preparedness, emergency managers must comprehend how a disaster impacts not only the physical infrastructure of the affected community but also the population. They must understand how the people interact with one another, how they interact with government, and how they react to the disaster event. This text provides a comprehensive framework for understanding a community before, during, and after a disaster in order to best mitigate the effects on its people. It supplies emergency managers, policy makers, and elected officials with a powerful blueprint for implementing social intelligence in any community or organization.
