Disaster Preparedness and Response

This book introduces the field of disaster medicine and disaster management at its most basic and practical level by presenting a series of scenarios and discussing the optimal responses. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the critical importance of advance planning for disasters, including conducting hazard vulnerability analyses, maintaining staff and hospital readiness, and communicating and cooperating with other community, state, and federal agencies. Chapters address the history of emergency medicine as a specialty, triage systems, crisis leadership and organization, modern training methods, and how to respond to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, mass casualty incidents, vehicular accidents, HAZMAT accidents, radiological emergencies, active shooter situations, pandemics, and more. In each chapter suggestions are made for further reading, and three appendices list accidental and intentional hazardous agents; bioterror agents, and major disasters in history.
