The Law of Emergencies: Public Health and Disaster Management,
Second Edition, introduces the American legal system as it
interacts with disaster management, public health and civil unrest
issues. Nan Hunter shows how the law in this area plays out in the
context of real life emergencies where individuals often have to
make split-second decisions. This book covers the major legal
principles underlying emergency policy and operations and analyzes
legal authority at the federal, state and local levels, placing the
issues in historical context but concentrating on contemporary
questions. The book includes primary texts, reader-friendly
expository explanation and sample discussion questions in each
chapter, as well as scenarios for each of the three major areas to
put the concepts in to action. Prior knowledge of the law is not
necessary in order to use and understand this book, and it
satisfies the need of professionals in a wide array of fields
related to emergency management to understand both what the law
requires and how to analyze issues for which there is no clear
legal answer. The book features materials on such critical issues
as how to judge the extent of Constitutional authority for
government to intervene in the lives and property of American
citizens. At the same time, it also captures bread-and-butter
issues such as responder liability and disaster relief methods. No
other book brings these components together in a logically
organized, step by step fashion.
