This book discusses the fundamentals of emergency management. The
four phases of emergency management are discussed in detail
throughout the book. These phases are mitigation, preparedness,
response, and recovery with respect to floods, earthquakes, storms,
and other man made as well as natural disasters. This book uses
easy to understand examples that also include populations such as
senior citizens and the disabled. There are numerous chapters that
show the progression of emergency management equipment and how it
was used through the last four centuries in the United States.
There is also a section on the atomic age which explains radiation,
fallout, and some warning systems that are in place to warn the
public in case of nuclear accidents such as Three Mile Island.
There are also some never seen photos of Nagasaki shortly after the
blast in World War Two. We will also meet Uncle Bob who sometimes
worked in the hot zone and was later electrocuted, injured his
spine, and was in a coma for a while. We will also discuss some of
the issues with electrical burns too. Later chapters include the
topic of telemedicine and the technology used in telemedicine.
Telemedicine becomes important to serve rural communities around
the world where people may not have access to quality health care
usually available in cities.
