Описание:
A Futurist's Guide to Emergency Management provides interdisciplinary analysis on how particular sets of conditions may occur in the future by evaluating global trends, possible scenarios, emerging conditions, and various other elements of risk management. Firmly based in science, the book leverages historical data, current best practices, and scientific and statistical data to make future projections to help emergency management, homeland security, and public safety officials make appropriate planning, preparedness, and resource management decisions in the present to prepare for future conditions and risks.
Focuses on trends in citizen behaviors, expectations, and choices related to technology, media, communication, and cross-cultural behavior
Reflects the impacts of age, gender, and sexuality roles on emergency response expectations as well as the increasing politicization of disaster response and recovery activities
Evaluates how perceptions of risk are changing--particularly in light of low probability, but high consequence events
Considers emerging physical, social, environmental, and technological issues such as climate change, sustainability, globalization, and cyber threats
Divided into three sections, the book first focuses on trends in citizen behaviors, expectations, and choices related to technology, media, communication and cross-cultural behavior. It then explores the impacts of age, gender, and sexuality roles on emergency response expectations as well as the increasing politicization of disaster response and recovery activities. Additionally, the second section evaluates how perceptions of risk are changing - particularly in light of low probability, but high consequence events. The book concludes with coverage of emerging physical, social, environmental, and technological issues such a climate change, sustainability, globalization, and cyber threats.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET READY FOR ANY TYPE OF DISASTER - all in one book!
In this ground-breaking book, nationally respected disaster specialist Kim Fournier MA, CD, simplifies emergency preparation. With over 30 years' experience, Fournier has developed a must-have tool for those who want to prepare and protect their family and home from any type of disaster, and gain the peace of mind that comes with being truly prepared.
This book is a practical, easy-to-follow, and comprehensive action guide that combines the latest research and practical lessons from past disasters, as well as over 30 years' of experience in disaster management, public health, and survival techniques. Once you have completed the 7 Steps, you'll be ready for any disaster!
You will learn these important skills and more:
Communicate and reunite with your family after a disaster.
Safely shelter in your home and evacuate.
Assemble essential items for your family's needs.
Prepare your home for any type of disaster.
Prevent injury and reduce loss.
Properly manage hygiene and sanitation when electricity and water is not available.
Collect and sanitize water in an emergency.
Respond to a disaster and return home safely.
Reduce the emotional effects of a disaster on your family.
Disaster management is generally understood to consist of four phases: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. While these phases are all important and interrelated, response and recovery are often considered to be the most critical in terms of saving lives. Response is the acute phase occurring after the event, and includes all arrangements to remove detriments and a long-term inventory of supplies to deal with irreversible damage. The timely provision of geospatial information is crucial in the decision-making process, and can save lives and rescue citizens.
The aim of this volume is to share technological advances that allow wider, faster and more effective utilization of geospatial information in emergency response situations. The volume describes current accomplishments and challenges in providing geospatial information with these attributes, and is organized in six parts:
- Practice and legislation, with a focus on the utilization of geospatial information in recent disaster events, as well as resulting legislative attempts to share and access data.
- Data collection and data products.
- Data management and routing in 3D.
- Emerging technologies, including positioning, virtual reality and simulation models.
- Integration of heterogeneous data.
- Applications and solutions.
This volume is aimed at researchers, practitioners and students who work in the variety of disciplines related to geospatial information technology for emergency response, and represents the very best of current thinking from a number of pioneering studies over the past four years.
