Is your community
prepared for a biological terrorism incident?
While no community is
fully equipped or funded for a major attack, it is possible to develop and
implement effective local response plans, protocols, and guidelines.
Preparing for Biological
Terrorism contains vitally important information to guide local agencies in
their efforts to secure and coordinate the influx of state and federal
resources before, during, and after an attack.
Mandatory reading for
emergency response teams, today's school administrators, business leaders,
public utilities managers, media professionals, as well as the general
public, this resource walks through the fundamental concepts of emergency
planning- that is, the "DNA" of successful emergency management.
Subsequent chapters
enable readers to immerse themselves thoroughly in specific elements of
successful emergency planning, including:
-
passive, active, and
medical surveillance
-
biochemical detection
-
notification, and
diagnosis protocols
-
agent surety
-
mass prophylaxis
-
the national
pharmaceutical stockpile program
-
and more!
Knowing that they are
arming themselves with the latest information as to what to look for and how
to respond, all readers of this emergency services planning guide will be
able to heighten their vigilance while going freely and confidently about
their daily lives. |
