Reviews

This book serves as a nearly all-encompassing resource for disaster preparedness. One of its great strengths is the useful accompanying graphics that map out concepts such as department flow, for example ... This can be a somewhat difficult topic to make engaging, but the authors do a good job of simplifying the presentation to the most necessary information, using experiences from an informed background. * Andrew W Hasebroock, Doody's Reviews *
