The Fall 2001 semester class of EMSE 232 at
George Washington University has drafted a book on emergency management
entitled:
Disaster
Management in the 21st Century,
which is a textbook designed to provide students in disaster management
degree programs with a working
knowledge of current disaster management strategies, applications and
players in the United States and around the world. It will serve as a textbook
for students in related disciplines of law, medicine, business, public
administration, planning, engineering and other disciplines who recognize
that understanding disaster management strategies has practical application
to their professions. This book will also become the prime reference
for members of the media, government officials, business people, community
leaders and enlightened citizens seeking to learn more about dealing with
natural and man-made risks and our nation’s emergency management system.
The EMSE 232 Disaster Newsletter is produced by the students
in the Fall 2001 class EMSE 232: Crisis and Emergency Management at The
George Washington University in Washington, DC. The student authors
include Kathryn A. Allen, James A. Cooke, Damon P. Coppola, Elizabeth N.
Halford, Robert D. Hulshouser, Nadeem U. Khan, Mariette M. Larrick, Stephen
Marquette, Michele R. Novack, George Nunez, John C. Peyrebrune, Jeannette
C. Rood, Christian M. Salmon, Monica M. Severson, and Carmen A. Whitson.
The purpose of The EMSE 232 Disaster Newsletter
is to provide its readers with a current perspective of activities in the
disaster management field in the United States and around the world.
The Newsletter includes information on current disaster management trends
in the areas of research, funding, technology, legislation and consulting.
This information is provided in brief summaries of current activities accompanied
by a computer link or reference to more detailed information.
