Description

The public health community plays a vital role in identifying, responding to, containing, and recovering from emergencies. Essentials of Public Health Preparedness and Emergency Management takes an all hazards approach to public health preparedness and emergency management by providing broad perspectives on local, national, and global threats. The Second Edition adds authoritative coverage of the field of Emergency Management with the addition of a new co-author, James Banaski, Jr., a hands-on emergency management professional.

The Second Edition also includes case studies on Ebola and Zika which demonstrate approaches to addressing the threat of emerging infectious diseases.

Audience

The intended audience is both undergraduate and graduate students. No previous exposure to the field of public health preparedness and emergency management is necessary. Students with more advanced knowledge of the field will also find much of interest because chapters succinctly bring together information from many different sources and analyze the response to recent well-known public health threats and natural and man-made disasters.
