Responding to Catastrophic Events brings together the leading scholars and practitioners of consequence management to instruct a new generation in how to respond to both natural disasters and manmade events. Focusing on the relationship of disaster management to national security and the Department of Defense, the contributors cover a range of potential scenarios and address the distinct responsibilities of first responders, the Departments of Homeland Security, Defense, and State, and the military. They also point to the importance of having a plan for the media and knowing the legal obstacles and issues that may arise in a disaster situation. Using recent case studies to provide lessons learned for future responses to disasters, Responding to Catastrophic Events is a comprehensive and vital reader for any scholar of public policy, emergency management, or strategic studies. "This book presents a comprehensive examination of the federal perspective, process, and practice of consequence management. It is a necessary book for first responders at every level and an essential desk reference for their commanders, managers, and planners." - Dr. James M. Smith, Director, Air Force Institute for National Security Studies, USA "This is a very thoughtful set of essays that provides a comprehensive understanding of a complex and challenging landscape and advances our collective capacity to think clearly and act effectively. It will be an invaluable resource to a diverse community at all levels of government working to formulate and execute sound policy. It will also fill an important gap in the professional military education classroom." - Paul Bernstein, Senior Research Fellow, National Defense University, USA
