Comprehensive Emergency Management for Local Governments: Demystifying Emergency Planning Illustrated Edition

This was a text for a class I took and it was easy to read and had great information in the appendixes that was useful. Recommended for anyone involved in emergency management that needs a good basic reference.

I used this book as a text for one of my Emergency Management classes. It is easy to read and understand, and seems to cover the basics well. My only complaints were that it was Canadian-based and it was outdated - missing important information on NIMS, etc. I do recommend it though, as a good checklist when creating an emergency plan.

I bought this to review to see if I should utilize it in a course I was teaching. I found the book very useful for my students.

With all the interest in homeland security and continuity of operations (COOP), this book is an excellent and timely tool for experienced emergency management professionals. Recommended for anyone involved or interested in emergency management.
