Handbook of Emergency Response: A Human Factors and Systems Engineering Approach

Despite the best preparation, the risk of natural disasters, catastrophic accidents, and terrorist attacks cannot be completely eliminated. A carefully prepared response is the best defense. This handbook presents comprehensive guidelines for researchers and practitioners for a coordinated execution of emergency response. An essential tool to mitigate logistical problems that often follow disasters or extreme events, the book emphasizes human factors in emergency project management that involve a systematic structure for communication, cooperation, and coordination. The book highlights what must be done and when, and identifies the resources required for each effort.
