About this title

Synopsis

This is the first book of its kind. It combines numerous FEMA course concepts and actual disaster practices into one book in a simple, easy-to-follow manner. It was written and designed by a disaster response veteran turned high school teacher who understands how students learn best. The book can be used as a reference manual for understanding the Incident Command System, National Incident Management System, and the National Response Framework or as a template for running a mission support EOC. This book builds on the overwhelming success of the Vinal Technical High School Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and will take students or volunteers from emergency management beginners to professionals when it matters. The product of their work will amaze you and be immediately useful. This book is a student/teacher-friendly how-to guide. Simply pass the books out and have each student flip to their specific chapter. Each chapter thoroughly explains their role, where they fall in the grand scheme, how to perform their position, examples from professionals, and inspiration. This book takes all of the emergency management courses students have taken and makes them real. So real in fact, that the model school discussed in the book used this system to assist with two real federal deployments of the National Disaster Medical System. There is no book that summarizes federal emergency management principles and practices as simple as this one does. This book will be a must-have for new emergency management students as well as veteran instructors. It shows how the changes in the way we share information over the past 30 years have made it possible for students to make a difference in the National disaster response while they are still students. This will change the way we think about disaster response.
