Review: "GIS technology has become the one unifying component that every community can use to plan for, respond to, and recover from, major disasters?whether these are natural events such as hurricanes, or the man-made destruction of terrorist attack. By giving responders and disaster managers a way to analyze each stage of a disaster visually and to synthesize complex information sets, GIS permits swifter decision-making and better communication. [This book] is a hands-on guide for both emergency-operations and GIS managers, as well as for government decision-makers, on ways to best implement GIS into disaster management." -- BOOK JACKET.
