logistics in emergency or disaster scenarios. Leading experts in
the field provide authoritative coverage of all areas of emergency
management involving GIS and related technologies.
Making this complex subject accessible for professionals who
want to improve their preparedness and response capabilities, this
complete resource provides numerous examples, case studies, and
proven simulation and modeling tools to aid in the development of
effective and efficient emergency response plans. It also includes
a CD-ROM with a user interface that supplies access to helpful
forms, exercises, color versions of the figures in the book,
hundreds of valuable resources, as well as a composite bibliography
of all references included in the text.
In today s technology driven environment, failure to plan is
planning to fail. This accessible resource provides emergency
planners, operations managers, and hospital and healthcare
administrators with the understanding and the tools needed to
create emergency management and disaster preparedness systems that
will help hospitals save lives, time, and money when the next
emergency strikes.
