Local Planning for Terror and Disaster gives voice to
experts in key fields involved with local preparedness, assessing
the quality of preparedness in each field, and offering directions
for improvement. Introductory chapters provide overviews of
terror medicine, security and communications, which are
indispensable to successful preparedness, while subsequent chapters
concentrate on a particular field and how responders from that
field communicate and interact with others during and after an
event. Thus, a chapter by a physician discusses not only
the doctor's role but how that role is, or should be, coordinated
with emergency medical technicians and police. Similarly,
chapters by law enforcement figures also review police
responsibilities and interactions with nurses, EMTs, volunteers and
other relevant responders.
Developed from topics at recent Symposia on Terror Medicine and
Security, Local Planning also encompasses aspects of
emergency and disaster medicine, as well as techniques for
diagnosis, rescue, coordination and security that are distinctive
to a terrorist attack. Each chapter also includes
a case study that demonstrates preparedness, or lack thereof,
for a real or hypothetical event, including lessons learned, next
steps, and areas for improvement in this global
era which increasingly calls for preparedness at a local
level.
