Book Synopsis

The effects of climate change and compounding hazards are pushing natural and social systems to their breaking points. Our understanding of hazards and disasters is rapidly changing, and it is unclear as to whether our existing management systems are adequate to adapt to the disasters already present let alone those occurring during the next decade. Thoroughly updated to include the latest research in the hazards and disasters field, U.S. Emergency Management in the 21st Century continues the tradition of giving readers access to exemplary case studies drawn from a wide variety of hazards as well as academic and applied fields. The second edition has features nine new chapters, highlighting transitions from the status quo to untested operational environments.
