Description

Brian A. Jackson (au); John Howard (fr); Stephen Rattien (fr). Addresses the protection of emergency responders (ER) against injury, illness, & death on rare occasions when emergencies occur that are so large in scale & so severe that local responders may not have the resources to effectively & safely respond. Focuses on preparedness (especially planning & training) & mgmt. as a means of controlling & reducing the hazards that ER face. Provides a set of recommendations on how disaster site safety & health mgmt. might be improved. Much of the info. contained herein is based upon the firsthand experience & suggestions of ER who were at the World Trade Center & at the Pentagon on & after 9/11, as well as those who responded to the Northridge earthquake (in Calif.) & Hurricane Andrew (in Florida).
