Designed to enable public officials to conduct this kind of evaluation, Case Studies in Disaster Response and Emergency Management details a selection of emergencies—more than 50—that actually occurred. The book demonstrates that often there is no wrong or right answer, just choices that will resolve a problem favorably or cause the situation to deteriorate.Public administration and public policy.Disaster reliefUnited StatesCase studiesDisaster reliefCase studiesEmergency managementUnited StatesCase studiesEmergency managementCase studiesDisaster reliefDisaster reliefEmergency managementEmergency management363.34/80973BUS079000POL002000SOC040000bisacshValcik Nicolas A.850510Tracy Paul E.FlBoTFGFlBoTFGBOOK9910797036903321Case studies in disaster response and emergency management3710542UNINA
