Reviews
This book is for those interested in the technical aspects of the various systems under discussion-those just starting to gain knowledge in this area of emergency planning and management, those interested in learning about the technology, and the experienced technical emergency planner wishing to enhance his or her knowledge. This book is heavily referenced, packed with details on the various systems presented, and-despite its technical nature-easy to read. Glen Kitteringham, ASIS Security Management, USA
