Public Health Emergency Response: A Guide for Leaders and Responders
Order number: PB2008-110086 Price: $16 (Price outside the U.S., Canada, and Mexico $32)
This guide is for people in a state, city, county, or town who come together during times of emergency, make the tough decisions about how to manage a crisis, and put their boots on the ground to save lives and protect the health and safety of area residents.
This document is unique in its attempt to bring together three sectors: leaders, responders, and public health. In addition, it shines light specifically on the public health implications of emergencies -- mass casualties, widespread illness, debilitating injuries, and intense psychological trauma -- present in almost every terrorist-created emergency. The information is equally relevant to all kinds of public health emergencies, including natural disasters. More information
