    • Preparedness and Response for Catastrophic Disasters, Hardcover by Bissell, Rick, ISBN 1466511893, ISBN-13 9781466511897, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US

      Bissell (emergency health services, U. of Maryland Baltimore County) brings together disaster scholars and practitioners mainly from the US for 16 chapters that elucidate why catastrophes are different from disasters and why they need to be approached differently to protect populations in times of new and changing hazards, the increased vulnerability of ever-expanding populations, and rapidly accelerating resource depletion. They define catastrophes and provide examples of historic and possible future ones, then detail background information on the causation, impacts, policy approaches, organizational structures, ethics, political and legal issues, and economics related to catastrophes, and preparedness and response topics like logistics, critical infrastructure, public health, mass displacement, emergency organizations, response, recovery/reconstruction, pandemic response strategies and preparedness, and tools for exercising and refining plans. They end with a review of the 2010 Haiti earthquake and the 2011 earthquake/tsunami/nuclear plant failure in Japan to gain insights on catastrophe response in economically different countries.
