Introduction to Emergency Management, Second Edition (Butterworth-Heinemann Homeland Security) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"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 !!!

Command and Control of Disaster Operations Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading through the book and comparing it to other disaster management texts, the content is detailed, makes sense, but lacks any theoretical background, examples, or incident details. This was slightly modified from a study guide and I can see easily see its utility in real-life disaster coordination. Unfortunately, the format is often awkward with unexplained notations.
