Urban Emergency Management: Planning and Response for the 21st Century takes the concepts and practices of emergency management and places them in the context of the complex challenges faced by the contemporary city.

The book provides guidance across all phases of emergency management, including prevention and all-hazards approaches.

  • Presents an all-hazards and all-phases approach to emergency management, including natural hazards and human-caused disasters
