Community Disaster Recovery and Resiliency
Managing Children in Disasters
Exploring Global Opportunities and Challenges Edited by
DeMond Shondell Miller Rowan University, Glassboro, New Jersey, USA
Jason David Rivera The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, Pomona, USA
In the past, societies would learn from disasters and move the location of their urban development to safer areas, allowing naturally occurring ecosystems to maintain themselves and for societies to exist symbiotically with the environment. These days, however, it seems that society no longer takes cues from the environment but rather relies on technical advancement to attempt to control and overcome the environment, sometimes with wholly unsuccessful and even catastrophic results. Bringing together leading research from top academics and scholars, Community Disaster Recovery and Resiliency: Exploring Global Opportunities and Challenges emphasizes non-traditional approaches to disaster recovery and rebuilding communities. It highlights the different ways various societies have experienced disasters, learned from them, and revised their thinking about building community preparedness and resiliency pre- and post-disaster. • Provides a clear, concise, and up-to-date understanding of best practices for rebuilding community institutions and community development after a disaster • Focuses on integrated solutions for ecological restoration and community development in disaster recovery planning and implementation • Compares and contrasts community rebuilding between different nations at different stages of development, economic power, and stability • Includes case studies that illustrate best practices, integrating the concept of community and community rebuilding for local, national, and international stakeholders Catalog no.

Planning for Their Unique Needs Jane A. Bullock, George Haddow, and Damon P. Coppola Bullock and Haddow, LLC, Reston, Virginia, USA
Each year, disasters such as house fires, car accidents, tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes impact hundreds of thousands of children. Child victims can suffer disproportionately and the physical and psychological damage sustained can far outweigh the same effects in adults, often requiring years of therapy. Sadly, emergency planners to date have largely failed to adequately recognize and accommodate the particular requirements of children in times of disaster. Highlighting the infrastructure that supports children in a safe and secure community, Managing Children in Disasters begins by identifying the special needs of children, including physical security, emotional stability, family unity, and ongoing education. It looks at how hazard mitigation actions can reduce the long term impact of a disaster on this infrastructure, and outlines the many steps that can be taken by parents, emergency managers, school officials, and child care providers to prepare for a future incident. The book reviews what agencies and organizations can do to ensure that children are protected and families remain intact. It examines evacuation plans and processes, emergency shelters, and the recovery and rebuilding process. The final chapter provides a list of resources in emergency planning, psychosocial recovery, training and education courses, technical assistance, and other organizations and examples of existing programs, reports, sample plans, and guides written for children. Providing guidance for the family and community, this book discusses the types of efforts that can be undertaken in all phases of emergency management including preparation, immediate response, and recovery.

Disaster Victim Identification Experience and Practice Edited by
S. Black, G. Sunderland, L. Hackman, and X. Mallett Disaster management has become an increasingly global issue, and victim identification is receiving greater attention. By raising awareness through past events and experiences, practitioners, policymakers, and students can learn what works, what doesn’t work, and how to avoid future mistakes. Disaster Victim Identification: Experience and Practice addresses a selection of key historical incidents and includes candid discussions of potential areas for improvement in preparedness and future deployment capabilities. Each chapter addresses a specific disaster and is divided into three sections. First, the senior officer for the force who led the relevant investigation contributes impressions about the disaster and the force’s response to it. Next, the book presents data such as the manpower available at the time of the disaster, the number of officers involved in the deployment, and other relevant factors. The next section provides the details of the disaster, including the response methods employed, the number of fatalities/casualties, and lessons learned. The book also explores the effect that the disaster had on the response team, short-and long-term. Finally, each chapter examines important aspects of the particular disaster, in terms of legislative, moral, practical, or other contribution to the field of mass disaster planning, preparation and deployment on a wider scale. Viewing disaster management from a global perspective, this volume contains the combined input of academics, forensic specialists, trainers, and law enforcement professionals who focus on actual cases to honestly assess events and provide recommendations for improvement.

The Human Side of Disaster Thomas E. Drabek University of Denver, Colorado, USA
“This book is the culmination of a career-long quest to translate decades of research findings to students, emergency management professionals, and the general population. … [The author] has succeeded with a style of writing that is personal, non-technical, and highly informative.” —Gary Kreps, The College of William and Mary
“… expands on important disaster-related knowledge beyond the typical academic and professional communities. It is therefore unique among texts, and contributes much to our understanding of human behavior in disaster situations.” —David McEntire, Department Chair and Professor, University of North Texas
“… a much needed book. It grows out of Drabek’s lifelong commitment to not only conducting basic and applied research but also to passing on vital knowledge … what readers will find is a sound and highly readable discussion of insights and principles on the social and behavioral aspects of disasters … anyone interested in exploring human aspects of disaster, regardless of their locale, will find much food for thought … a welcome addition to the literature in the field.” —William A. Anderson, Ph.D., National Research Council, National Academy of Science
Based on years of research, this is one of the first books to scientifically evaluate human responses in the face of disasters in ways that that will inform emergency response teams and teach them how to anticipate human response. Four original short stories introduce readers to the human side of disaster; each one is rooted in actual events surrounding a particular disaster. The stories look at how attention to preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation affect outcome and consider whether one can even predict how any two people will respond. The book also looks at long term effects and issues of recovery. Catalog no. K10428, 2010, 288 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-0864-1, $61.95 / £39.99

Disaster Management Handbook Edited by
GIS in Hospital and Healthcare Emergency Management
Jack Pinkowski
Edited by
Nova Southeastern University, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA
Record breaking hurricane seasons, tornados, tsunamis, earthquakes, and intentional acts of mass-casualty violence have plagued recent years. Disaster management is rooted in the fundamental belief that we can protect ourselves, and even if we cannot control all the causes, we can prepare and respond. We can craft a constructive, workable policy that will contribute to the prevention of enormous financial impact, destruction of the environment, and needless loss of life. Integrating scholarly articles from international experts and first-hand accounts from the practitioner community, Disaster Management Handbook presents an analytical critique of the interrelated, multidisciplinary issues of preparedness, response, and recovery in anticipating and rebuilding from disasters. Beginning with an introduction to the theoretical constructs and conceptual foundations of disaster management, the book reviews the relationship of modern development to disaster vulnerability, the politics of disaster management, leadership, and the role of agency coordination. The second and third sections examine case studies and lessons learned through natural disasters in North America and around the world. They compare and contrast the efficacy of different management strategies from national, provincial, and local governments, as well as non-governmental agencies. Taking a narrower scope, the fourth section focuses on emergency personnel and the methods and issues faced in on-the-scene response and preparation. It also considers the special needs of hospitals and the effective use of the media. Contributions in the final two sections present strategies for limiting and ameliorating the psychological impact of disaster on victims and personnel, and look forward to how we can be better prepared in the future and rebuild stronger, more resilient communities.

Managing Spontaneous Community Volunteers in Disasters A Field Manual Lisa Orloff World Cares Center, New York, New York, USA
Advance Praise: “The role of the volunteer is becoming more important in the planning, development, and implementation of an effective emergency response. World Cares Center’s training on how to best utilize spontaneous volunteers has made New Jersey better prepared to address this issue and maximize the value that these volunteers contribute to response and recovery efforts. All emergency management coordinators can benefit from this book.” —Howard Butt, New Jersey State Police, State CERT Coordinator
“Lisa Orloff has done an excellent job in both identifying a significant opportunity in emergency response and meticulously outlining how that opportunity can best be leveraged. Spontaneous volunteers are vital to the success of an emergency response, and, as such, they must be harnessed and led in a planned, focused manner. The author should be commended for articulating this opportunity and packaging it in a manner that benefits the entire emergency response effort.” —Dr. Michael Chumer, New Jersey Institute of Technology
History has demonstrated that it’s not only possible, but extremely cost-effective, to organize and empower community volunteers to serve their own neighborhoods during times of crisis. Laying out the rationale and process by which emergency managers, community leaders, and non-governmental aid organizations can effectively harness volunteer resources, Managing Spontaneous Community Volunteers in Disasters: A Field Manual explains how to engage, train, and utilize spontaneous unaffiliated community volunteers (SUCVs). The book details guidelines to help cultivate the required culture of collaboration and respect between community volunteers and emergency managers. It examines potential agency and community relevant roles for volunteers as well as the need for flexible management solutions that incorporate spot screening and "just in time" training. Catalog no. K10962, April 2011, 323 pp. ISBN: 978-1-4398-1833-6, $79.95 / £49.99

Emergency Response Medical Disaster Response Cross-Training for First Responders Gregory S. Bennett Helmetta, New Jersey, USA
The 9/11 tragedy brought enhanced emergency preparedness among first responders to the forefront of public awareness. Since that day — and despite significant progress made in many of the areas previously deemed deficient — some response areas are still woefully inadequate. Cross-Training for First Responders highlights these weaknesses that, in many cases, still remain in the response community. The book presents concrete solutions that arm first responders with vital knowledge so that they are better prepared in the event of another major incident. The author demonstrates that the best way responders can prepare for, react to, and mitigate an incident is to require them to train outside their traditional responsibilities — thereby developing an understanding of other first responder agencies’ terms, methods, and operational procedures. Despite this enhanced situational training, communication gaps can occur during cross-response and across regions. The book explains the kind of training required to prevent a lack of situational awareness by those thrust into unfamiliar territory during crisis events or mass disasters. Other topics include ways to curtail the inherent tensions that arise between voluntary and career responders, how to turn conflicts between various responding agencies into collaboration, and innovative training strategies.

This book addresses the critical medical planning and response issues involved in a mass casualty disaster before, during, and after the event. It presents a comprehensive medical disaster management plan that provides readers with a framework to develop individual policies to suit their particular institution. The book offers a powerful and unique case example through a chronology of the events of September 11th, offering a firsthand account and insight into the quintessential test case for disaster response effectiveness. It also profiles other well-known events as seen through the eyes of the expert contributors who participated in the medical response.

Social Vulnerability to Disasters Edited by
Brenda D. Phillips, Deborah S. K. Thomas, Alice Fothergill, and Lynn Blinn-Pike
By identifying problem areas and offering concrete solutions, this book enables first responders to harness every possible advantage so that they are prepared and ready to confront the next crisis, no matter where it may strike.
An examination of the social construction of disasters, this book demonstrates how the characteristics of an event alone do not create the tragedies that unfold. It explores why social vulnerabilities exist, what can be done to foster change, and how to reduce damage. Each chapter provides strategies for community-based mitigation by engaging those populations most at risk. Based on materials developed for the FEMA Higher Education Project, this book is an empirically-based guide on the incorporating social aspects of disasters into emergency management, public administration, and social service programs.

Protective Operations A Handbook for Security and Law Enforcement Glenn P. McGovern Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, Bureau of Investigation, San Jose, California, USA
Protective Operations: A Handbook for Security and Law Enforcement is designed as a reference for law enforcement and security organizations tasked with protecting the welfare of an individual or groups of individuals. To be effective and professional, protective operations require the incorporation of a variety of skill sets. However, many departments and jurisdictions have only limited resources and training available. Filling this void, the book identifies issues particular to local law enforcement — and the private security teams that may be called in later — and offers suggestions and guidance for confronting high-threat scenarios as well as the more mundane protective details.
Highlights • Details the essence of local law enforcement protective operations that are run, in large part, covertly • Examines threat assessment from both hostile organizations and unknown adversaries • Provides a solid understanding of operational security, situational awareness, and surveillance detection • Includes examples from real-world attacks occurring over the past sixty years • Reinforces the need for training in specific tactics and techniques • Emphasizes training for confronting the adversary • Focuses on the economics of providing the most protection for the least cost • Addresses issues surrounding possible direct violations of the law and department policy and procedures The author’s decades of training, research, and experience provide invaluable tested and proven protocols for keeping subjects safe in a hostile environment.

“It’s professionals like Al and Derk who personify the professionalism that is crucial when establishing and operating modern casino security and surveillance departments. This book will quickly become the Bible for any security and surveillance officer.” —Roger Gros, Publisher, Global Gaming Business Magazine
Almost all incidences of cheating, theft, fraud, or loss can be detected through the surveillance of critical transactions, audit observations, and reviews of key metrics. Providing proven-techniques for detecting and mitigating the everevolving threats to casino security, Casino Security and Gaming Surveillance covers the core skills, knowledge, and techniques needed to protect casino assets, guests, and employees. Drawing on the authors’ six decades of combined experience in the industry, this book identifies the most common threats to casino security and provides specific solutions for addressing these threats. From physical security and security management to table and gaming surveillance, it details numerous best practice techniques, strategies, and tactics, in addition to the metrics required to effectively monitor operations. The authors highlight valuable investigation tools, including interview techniques and evidence gathering. They also cover IOU patrol, tri-shot coverage, surveillance audits, threat analysis, card counting, game protection techniques, players’ club theft and fraud, surveillance standard operating procedures, nightclub and bar security, as well as surveillance training.

Lakewoood, Ohio, USA
Employee theft amounts to roughly $36.6 billion retail dollars lost annually, according to a 2008 National Retail Security Survey, and accounts for approximately 42.7% of all retail losses. Each year organizations spend millions of dollars on theft detection/prevention devices yet still incur losses at the hands of their own employees; begging the question not of how theft occurs, but why. Discussing the concept of the Theft Triangle (opportunity, motivation, and insufficient deterrents), Retail Security and Loss Prevention Solutions investigates motivational factors that contribute to loss and describes philosophies that can change the entire spectrum of employee dishonesty. It cites the revolutionary approach adopted by the New York Subway System, demonstrating that by changing the overall presentation of the business and contending with the factors preceding the crime, the crime itself can be avoided. As the title “Loss Prevention Professional” implies, the intention is to stop the damage before it occurs. To this end, chapters discuss behaviors that precede a loss event, theoretical perspectives and research on employee deviance and motivation, and methods to control employee dishonesty through deterrents as well as ethical infrastructures. Detailing the intricacies of the Loss Prevention Profession and the myriad skills involved such as accounting, forensics, fraud detection, human behavior analysis, and interview/interrogation skills, the authors employ real life case studies and interviews and discuss the problems and solutions for the future of loss prevention as a whole. They also present advice on how to select the right individuals for the job and how to build a Loss Prevention department. Catalog no.

Vein Pattern Recognition A Privacy-Enhancing Biometric Chuck Wilson ii2P, Southlake, Texas, USA
Just like anyone, assassins and hit men fall into routines and can become creatures of habit. By studying and understanding the collection of historical information contained in these pages, security, military, and law enforcement professionals responsible for providing protection will be better prepared to identify potential threats and develop the tactics needed to thwart such attacks.
Biometric technologies vary in capability, performance, and reliability. One of the most promising emerging technologies, vein pattern recognition (VPR) is more accurate than many other biometric methods, offers greater resistance to spoofing, and focuses on people. Exploring privacy issues and the general concept of personal identity, this book delves into real-world biometrics applications and discusses the emergence of this reliable but underutilized technology. The author, an industry veteran, presents the myriad applications of VPA technology and its current implementations — including its widespread use in the Japanese banking industry for accessing cardholder accounts.

Risk Analysis and Security Countermeasure Selection Thomas L. Norman, CPP/PSP/CSC Protection Partners International, Houston, Texas, USA & Beirut, Lebanon
Whether the cause of a disaster is a terrorist attack, fire emergency, civil disruption, or major electronic failure, security professionals must be aware of how such a crisis could affect all they are employed to protect. This volume examines the most significant emergencies that may confront the security, business continuity, or risk manager in the protection of people and property and the avoidance of liability. The book includes ways to prevent or reduce the severity of the incident, suggests how to properly interact with governmental agencies, and provides managers with a system for stabilization, recovery, and restoration.
Explaining how to evaluate the appropriateness of countermeasures from a cost-effectiveness perspective, this comprehensive resource details the risk analysis process in easy-to-understand language. It guides readers from basic principles to complex processes step by step, evaluating DHS-approved risk assessment methods and various Sandia methodologies. Using numerous case illustrations, the text clearly explains the five core principles of the risk analysis lifecycle and includes an adaptable graphic risk analysis tool that is simple to use, can be applied in public or private industries, and works with all DHSapproved methods.
