| Description: |
The world is becoming more hazardous as natural and social processes combine to create complex situations of increased vulnerability and risk. The common response is to develop an emergency plan, but there is little advice available to provide the means to do so. This book covers the structure, content and strategic direction of emergency plans. |
| Synopsis: |
The world is becoming more hazardous as natural and social processes combine to create complex situations of increased vulnerability and risk. There is increasing recognition that this trend is creating exigencies that must be dealt with. The common approach is to delegate the task of preparing an emergency plan to someone. Often that person is expected to get on with job but rarely is the means and instruction of how to write such a plan provided to them. There are a host of instances in which the letter of the law, not the spirit, is honoured by providing a token plan of little validity. David Alexander provides, in this book, the assistance needed to write an emergency plan. It is a practical 'how to' manual and guide aimed at managers in business, civil protection officers, civil security officials, civil defence commanders, neighbourhood leaders and disaster managers who have been tasked with writing, reviewing or preparing emergency plans for all kinds of emergency, disaster or catastrophe.He takes the reader through the process of writing an emergency plan, step by step, starting with the rationale and context, before moving on through the stages of writing and activating a basic, generic emergency plan and concludes with information on specific kinds of plan, for example, for hospitals and cultural heritage sites.This practical guide also provides a core for postgraduate training in emergency management and has been written in such a way that it is not tied to the legal constraints of any particular jurisdiction. Professor David Alexander holds a chair at the Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction, University College London. He was formerly Chief Senior Scientist, Global Risk Forum Davos and Visiting Professor, Universities of Bournemouth and Northumbria (UK), Affiliated Professor, University of Lund (Sweden) |
