Not knowing what's around the bend makes for a fast-paced adventure every time a paramedic goes on duty. Taylor, who worked as a paramedic for twenty-one years in Vancouver's Lower Mainland, the BC Interior and Victoria, shares true stories that are both gritty and uncensored, yet the compassion and courage of co-workers, patients, strangersand people who had previously threatened to kill our narratorshines through the gore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author writes that as a paramedic, to stop from crying you have to keep laughing, and readers will find themselves doing the same.

With stories set across the province, from Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to down the side of a cliff, these rollicking tales explain the perils of life before GPS, what to do if a drunk mob surrounds your ambulance, and how to drive like a paramedic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harbour Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867556819287,"sku":"9781550179026","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781550179026.jpg?v=1791473844"},{"product_id":"public-health-emergencies-9780826149022","title":"Public Health Emergencies","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is a clearly written, easy-to-read first edition on a necessary subject in an ever-changing world of disaster and humanitarian crisis...Not only theoretical, this book is also extremely practical and can be utilized by the various stakeholders involved in public health and emergency response.

Because text, data, images, and video are increasingly common in personal communications and are critical to future transportation safety, the 9-1-1 system will be expected to accommodate highly mobile, dynamic communications modes. The architecture of these communication nodes directly counters the fundamental structure of the current 9-1-1 system. To guide and foster a nation-wide vision of a 9-1-1 system for the 21st century, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) is taking a lead role in the research and development needed to bring about a more capable Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) system that supports emergency call delivery and a response based system that maximises impact across a diverse stakeholder community. There are, however, a large number of operational, economic, political, and institutional issues that must be addressed and reconciled if the NG9-1-1 system is to be implemented successfully across the nation. Implementing NG9-1-1 will likely be a complicated process, requiring the effective, timely and willing co-operation of an array of stakeholders. To address these issues, the NG9-1-1 Initiative has begun researching and analysing the strategic transition elements and options that could be followed to further the progress and implementation of NG9-1-1. This Preliminary Transition Plan will help frame how the government and industry view the deployment of NG9-1-1 and the key decisions that might need to be made by each level of government and the private sector to make implementation a reality. Potential Deployment Approaches Transition to NG9-1-1 is expected to be evolutionary process, involving technological, economic, and institutional change. In some cases, the path to NG9-1-1 implementation will depend on the underlying infrastructure and state of the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and 9-1-1 Authorities. In other cases, the transition to NG9-1-1 may depend on the ability of originating service networks to deliver NG9-1-1 calls via native internet protocol (IP)-based infrastructure to jurisdictions that are prepared to receive those calls.","brand":"Nova Science Publishers Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48886698148183,"sku":"9781606926390","price":63.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"emergency-communications-enhancing-the-safety-network-9781607415176","title":"Emergency Communications: Enhancing the Safety","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince 11 September 2001, several bills introduced in the U.S. Congress have included provisions to assist emergency communications.

Future 911 systems will use Internet protocols (IP) to facilitate interoperability and system resilience, and to provide better connections between 911 call centres, emergency responders, and alert and warning systems, more robust capacity, and the flexibility to receive calls for help in any format.

Difficult to predict, they materialise with little warning, claiming thousands of lives and causing billions of dollars in damage. Recent mega-tsunamis in Japan and Indonesia claimed close to 250,000 lives, triggering wide-scale economic and social disruption. Developing countries cannot afford costly underwater cable systems, and governments and relief organisations have been forced to rely on flawed warning systems such as deep-sea buoys. Now, a ground-breaking new approach to tsunami detection and warning, which relies on low-cost underwater sensors and networks of smartphone communication, has changed the equation. Developed by an international, interdisciplinary team of researchers, this approach allows at-risk coastal communities to have an economically viable, scientifically sound means to protect themselves.  Coeditors Louise K. Comfort and Harkunti P. Rahayu, accomplished experts in disaster preparedness, contend that it will give communities precious additional minutes to communicate warnings about imminent tsunamis to residents, potentially saving many lives. Chapters authored by a close group of collaborators present the science behind this new approach, describing conceptual design, computational models, and real-time testing of a prototype system in the warm equatorial waters of Indonesia’s Mentawai Sea. Introductory chapters explain the sociotechnical approach - how undersea sensors can transmit data to a network of electronic devices on land to alert residents to impending tsunami threats in near-real time. Subsequent chapters explore what this might look like: assessing communities at risk; designing interactive information systems for communication during an emergency; designing wireless networks for smartphone communication that can guide residents to safety; and designing community-based shelters. The book concludes with a thoughtful analysis of how these sociotechnical advances might be used for all coastal cities at risk of tsunamis, sea-level rise, storm surges, and other hazards.  Hazardous Seas is an invaluable guide for policy makers and international NGOs looking to save lives from tsunamis and mitigate crippling damage to communities, and provides a comprehensive overview of tsunami detection and warning for students of engineering, computer science, planning, policy, and economic and environmental analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword Preface 1.

By leaning into this work, EMS providers are uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of community medicine.\u003cbr\u003e At a time when we are considering how to rely less on policing, the EMS system is already tasked with treating many of the social problems we think would benefit from less involvement with law involvement. \u003ci\u003eMedicine at the Margins\u003c\/i\u003e underscores why the EMS system is so necessary and the ways in which it can be expanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface \u003c\/i\u003e| ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Sociologist in the Ambulance \u003c\/i\u003e| xi\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eA Note on Names and Places \u003c\/i\u003e| xv\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eList of Abbreviations \u003c\/i\u003e| xvii\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Shit Work on Urban America’s Front Lines | 1\u003cbr\u003e The Scene | 23\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART I: EMS AS A MARGINAL INSTITUTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eDial 9-1-1 for Emergencies | 37\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Ambulance Drivers Are Here! | 64\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion \u003c\/b\u003e| 89\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART II: EMS AS MARGINAL WORK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Twenty-Four: The Rhythm of EMS Shifts | 93\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eHurry Up and Wait: Passing Time and Avoiding Conflict | 112\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion \u003c\/b\u003e| 135\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePART III: EMS IN THE MARGINAL CITY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Daily Grind of Grunt Work | 139\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003eStigma and Space in Midtown | 162\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion \u003c\/b\u003e| 187\u003cbr\u003e Marginality, Stigma, and the Future of Pre-Hospital Medicine | 189\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAppendix: Notes on Data and Methods\u003c\/i\u003e | 213\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e| 227\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e| 229\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWorks Cited \u003c\/i\u003e| 241\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e| 263\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49409981546839,"sku":"9781531501075","price":95.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781531501075.jpg?v=1730508580"},{"product_id":"five-floors-up-the-heroic-family-story-of-four-generations-in-the-fdny-9781538753200","title":"Five Floors Up: The Heroic Family Story of Four","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeen through the eyes of four generations of a firefighter family, Five Floors Up is on one level the story of the modern New York City Fire Department. From the days just after the horse-drawn firetruck, to the devastation of the 1970s when the Bronx was Burning, to the unspeakable tragedy of 9\/11, to the culture-busting department of today, a Feehan has worn the shoulder patch of the FDNY. The tale especially shines the spotlight on the career of William M. Feehan. “Chief” Feehan is only person to have held every rank in the FDNY including being New York City's 28th Fire Commissioner. He died in the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. But Five Floors Up is at root an intimate look at a firefighter clan, the selflessness and bravery of not only those who face the flames, but the family members who stand by their sides. Alternately humorous and harrowing, rich with anecdotes and meticulously researched and reported, Five Floors Up takes us inside a world few of us truly understand, and documents an era that is quickly passing us by.","brand":"Little, Brown \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49410051047767,"sku":"9781538753200","price":20.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538753200.jpg?v=1730508802"},{"product_id":"fighting-fire-one-hundred-years-of-the-fire-brigades-union-9781780264929","title":"Fighting Fire: One hundred years of the fire","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New Internationalist Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49411736961367,"sku":"9781780264929","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/collections\/emergency-services.oembed?page=4","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
