Abstract:

EMERGENCY PLANNING AND RESPONSE: Case Studies and Lessons Learned discusses critical elements of the emergency management discipline, and provides numerous lessons learned in this field. The cases studies identify common failings in emergency planning and response and illustrate the need to think differently about emergency preparedness efforts. The real-world lessons can be used to develop a risk-based approach to emergency management, improve emergency management programs, and help organizations develop resilient systems.
