Medical Consequence Manager

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I found this to be a good introduction to emergency management. I am using it in my course on Disaster Preparidness: medical consequency management. Well written and easy to read for the novice.

Somewhat useful

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book is more useful for someone in government. If you need emergency planning/mangement for a business or industry, the book is a good starter but will be limited. Too bad it was published right before Katrina.

An Excellent Intro to Emergency Management

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
"Introduction to Emergency Management" is a straight-forward and insightful entre into the world of public emergency management. George Haddow and Jane Bullock are former senior FEMA officials that exerienced it first hand. And it shows.I've added this book as one of my reference texts for the Organizational Continuity sessions I conduct. I also plan to use it in an workshop series I'm developing. It would be a great textbook for any course on Emergency Management AND it's also a good read for anyone interested in getting a taste of Emergency Management. I truly wish this book was in print when I took Emergency Management in grad school.Highly recommended !!!
