Large Scale
Incident Management
by
Mark Haraway
Taking the approach that experience is the
best teacher, Large Scale Incident Management is the first
book of its kind to use a major, real-life, contemporary event to
teach key incident management concepts.
The book places readers in the Incident
Commander seat for the EQ chemical fires that occurred in Apex,
North Carolina, in October 2006: an event that lasted three days,
shut down an entire city, and displaced 17,000 citizens.
Using this large-scale incident as a running
example of how critical components of successful incident management
are actually applied in real life, it provides detailed insight into
important topics in the field.
Coverage begins with pre-planning and
preparation, emergency plan development, and conducting community
hazard assessments, and then progresses to implementation of the
National Incident Management System (NIMS) as a part of daily
operations, incident action plans, and complex NIMS for large
catastrophic events.
With this unique, real-life approach, the book
is both engaging and instructional, leaving readers with a solid
understanding, not only of large scale incident management concepts,
but also how to apply them.
Features:
- Pictorial of the event
provides visualizations that allow readers to relate
to the event
- Uses clear, easy-to-read
terminology for better comprehension
- Sample documents are included
to help officials guide their own communities' plan
development
