When large-scale disasters occur, they typically strike without
warninga "regardless of whether the cause is natural, such as a
tsunami or earthquake, or human-made, such as a terrorist attack.
And immediately following a hazardous event or mass violence, two
of the most vulnerable groups at risk are a communitya (TM)s
children and their family members. Promoting Community Resilience
in Disasters offers both clinicians and researchers guidance on
hazard preparation efforts as well as early response and
intervention practices. It emphasizes an evidence- and
prevention-based approach that is geared toward readiness,
response, and recovery phases of natural and human-made disasters,
examining such key topics as:
Establishing a community resilience framework
Reviewing current theory and research
Understanding the role for schools, youth, and families
Building a partnership and multidisciplinary perspective
Recognizing the importance of readiness and risk reduction
Providing public education and response during a crisis
Developing recovery programs that focus on physical and social
factors
Setting evidence-based guidelines for practice
Establishing an interface between research and practice
Promoting Community Resilience in Disasters is specifically
geared toward assisting those who work in school or community
settingsa "including school psychologists and counselors, emergency
managers and planners, and all mental health professionalsa "not
only to increase resilience after a disaster, but to respond and
intervene as quickly as possible when catastrophe strikes. It will
assist those charged with the responsibilityfor helping others
respond to and rebound from major traumas, especially clinicians
