Disasters and Public Health: Planning and Response, Second Edition,
examines the critical intersection between emergency management and
public health. It provides a succinct overview of the actions that
may be taken before, during, and after a major public health
emergency or disaster to reduce morbidity and mortality. Five
all-new chapters at the beginning of the book describe how policy
and law drive program structures and strategies leading to the
establishment and maintenance of preparedness capabilities. New
topics covered in this edition include disaster behavioral health,
which is often the most expensive and longest-term recovery
challenge in a public health emergency, and community resilience, a
valuable resource upon which most emergency programs and responses
depend. The balance of the book provides an in-depth review of
preparedness, response, and recovery challenges for 15 public
health threats. These chapters also provide lessons learned from
responses to each threat, giving users a well-rounded introduction
to public health preparedness and response that is rooted in
experience and practice.
