Description
Fills a hole at the academic level, where budding administrators are rarely exposed to the demands and nuance of effectively responding to crises.
Combines theory with practical, relevant, case studies to offer a comprehensive and effective approach to understanding methods in disaster management and response.
When combined, collaboration and crisis management are fields that are still under studied, and the addition of content on the Covid-19 pandemic brings the book right up to date.
Applicable to both academic and professional markets in the US, with the potential for international use
Two very experienced and well regarded names, who are able to effectively combine their professional and academic expertise.
