Emergency Response Planning outlines the essential roles of
corporate and municipal managers and demonstrates the importance of
their relationships with federal, state, and local government
agencies as well as public and private community sectors. Author
Paul Erickson, one of the leading experts in the field, focuses on
proactively planning for emergencies, particularly in the
recognition and advance coordination of response to incidents
instead of simply implementing emergency measures.
The book is broken out into three sections. Section 1 outlines the
overall scope of comprehensive emergency planning and discusses in
detail the major elements that must be addressed in an Emergency
Response Plan. Section 2 examines the types of hazards and risks
faced by emergency response personnel, as well as the public, in
typical emergencies, and provides specific recommendations
regarding the immediate and long-term health and safety of
emergency response personnel. Section 3 discusses a range of issues
that must be given special attention in the development and
implementation of any emergency response plan including: hazard and
risk reduction, decontamination, data and information management,
monitoring strategies and devices, terrorism, and the training of
emergency response personnel.
