Despite preemptive preparations, disasters can and do occur.
Whether natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, or terrorist
attacks, the risk cannot be completely eliminated. A carefully
prepared response is your best defense. Handbook of Emergency
Response: A Human Factors and Systems Engineering Approach presents
practical advice and guidelines on how to plan the coordinated
execution of emergency response. A useful tool to mitigate
logistical problems that often follow disasters or extreme events,
the core of this guide is the role of human factors in emergency
response project management. The handbook provides a systematic
structure for communication, cooperation, and coordination. It
highlights what must be done and when, and how to identify the
resources required for each effort. The book tackles cutting-edge
research in topics such as evacuation planning, chemical agent
sensor placement, and riverflow prediction. It offers strategies
for establishing an effective training program for first responders
and insightful advice in managing waste associated with disasters.
Managing a project in the wake of a tragedy is complicated and
involves various emotional, sentimental, reactive, and chaotic
responses. This is the time that a structured communication model
is most needed. Having a guiding model for emergency response can
help put things in proper focus. This book provides that model. It
guides you through planning for and responding to various
emergencies and in overcoming the challenges in these tasks.
