The spate of disaster events ranging from major to catastrophic
that have occurred in recent years raises a lot of questions about
where and why they happened. Understanding the history of emergency
management policies and practice is important to an understanding
of current and future policies and practice. Continuing in the
footsteps of its popular predecessors, the new edition of Emergency
Management: The American Experience provides the background to
understand the key political and policy underpinnings of emergency
management, exploring how major "focusing events" have shaped the
field of emergency management. This edition builds on the original
theoretical framework and chronological approach of previous
editions, while enhancing the discussions through the addition of
fresh information about the effects and outcomes of older events,
such as Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill. The final chapters
offer insightful discussion of the public administration concepts
of emergency management in the U.S. and of the evolving federal
role in emergency management. Like its predecessors, the third
edition of Emergency Management is a trusted and required text to
understand the formation and continuing improvement of the American
national emergency management system.
