| Sommario/riassunto: | Because catastrophe study and research is relatively new, there are few resources available on the subject. This book fills the gap in emergency management education, namely the issue of events so large and complex that normal disaster preparedness and response strategies are vastly insufficient. It introduces the many political, legal, and programmatic issues that influence how governments plan for and respond to a catastrophe. The text provides a solid understanding of basics catastrophic planning and response, including its historical development, elements, structures, and functions. |
