Disaster Health Management is the first comprehensive textbook to provide a standard guide to terminology and management systems across the entire spectrum of disaster health. Authored by experienced educators, researchers and practitioners in disaster health management, this textbook provides an authoritative overview of:
The conceptual basis for disaster management
Systems and structures for disaster management
Managing disasters through the continuum of preparedness, response and recovery
The variations associated with both natural and technological disasters
The strategic considerations associated with leadership, research, education and future directions.
Using Australasian systems and structures as examples of generic principles which will find application globally, Disaster Health Management is an essential text for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as for professionals involved in all aspects of disaster management.
