A history of U.S. emergency management policy

Andrea M. Jackman surveys the development of large-scale emergency management policy in the United States, connecting past catastrophic events with subsequent policy changes. The book also considers how older policies meet newer markets shaped by technology-dependent systems, and extends its scope beyond government to address for-profit emergency management and professional associations. Its historical and policy-oriented approach provides context for how practices in the field have developed and how they intersect with changing technological and professional environments.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People working in emergency management who want historical context for current practices
