Review: This volume provides a discussion of a conceptual framework that forms the organisation necessary for developing an understanding of the pathophysiology of disasters. It outlines the need for a structure for research, and seeks to establish a common nomenclature and set of definitions for communication between the elements that comprise disaster medicine, as well as between disaster medicine and the broader emergency management community.
