Review: "Based on the author's years of research and teaching experience, The Human Side of Disaster scientifically evaluates human response in the face of disaster. This examination informs emergency managers and response teams and teaches them how to anticipate human reactions. It demonstrates how traditional warning methods and high-tech systems can work together to improve communication, evacuation, and reconstruction efforts. The author highlights the role of the human element in any disaster situation and demonstrates how to use that element as part of a planned disaster response."--BOOK JACKET.
