More than 12 years have passed since the publication of the
first edition of Crisis and Emergency Management. During that time
numerous disasters from 9/11 to massive earthquakes in Iran and
China, to the giant Asian Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and the
Fukushima Tsunami and ensuing nuclear meltdown have changed the way
we manage catastrophic events. With contributions from leading
experts, this second edition features 40 new chapters that address
recent worldwide crises and what we have learned from emergency
responses to them.
See What s New in the Second Edition:
- Up-to-date concepts, theories, and practices
- Analysis of recent disasters and their effect on emergency
management
- Policy and managerial lessons
- Suggestions for capacity building in crisis and emergency
management
The book covers a wide range of international issues using
critical, empirical, and quantitative analyses. It discusses
various approaches to topics such as resolving political tension
and terrorism issues, the potential use of biological weapons, and
the role of public relations in crisis. The author offers insight
into organizational and community resiliency development; a
"surprise management" theory in practice for upgrading the
knowledge and skills in managing crises and governing emergencies;
and better and more effective organizational, political, social,
and managerial coordination in the processes. He presents case
studies that enhance and advance the future theory and practice of
crisis and emergency management, while at the same time providing
practical advice that can be put to use immediately.
Managing crises and governing emergencies in such an age of
challenges demands a different kind of knowledge, skills, and
attitudes that were not available yesterday. This book gives you
valuable information with applications at the macro, micro,
organizational, and interorganizational levels, preparing you for
emergency management in an increasingly globalized and uncertain
world."
