Paying special attention to the role of key actors--decision makers at the federal, state, and local levels; scientists; engineers; civil and military personnel; officials; and first responders--the author explores how physical and social science researchers contribute to and engage in disaster policy development and management. The book's comprehensive "all-hazards" approach introduces students to the important public policy, organizational management, and leadership issues they may need as future practitioners and leaders in the field. The text provides a concise history of the field, presents useful theories and concepts, poses thought-provoking questions, and is crafted to be both instructor- and student-friendly"--
