Counter-disaster, civil defence or both?: the case for dual capability.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: SEP 1981Description: 3p., no refs, 2 figsReport number: Defence Department or MinistrySubject: The author believes the division between civil defence and counter disaster situations is now somewhat artificial. A major earthquake in a large Australian city would have effects comparable to those anticipated over a range of possible civil defence scenarios. Granted that every type of disaster situation has particular characteristics which call for emphasis on a particular response capability, there may be little difference in the scale of response called for in most civil defence or natural disaster situations. The dual concept is seen to be valid, and all concerned with civil defence and counter disaster should respond to make the concept work
