With an overview of the basic principles of disaster management, Medical Disaster Response describes the role of emergency medicine in disaster planning and mass casualty events.

Each chapter discusses one type of manmade or terrorist disaster, which is illustrated by a recent disaster event such as September 11th, Hurricane Katrina, or SARS. An entire chapter is devoted to weapons of mass destruction to highlight their unique challenges. The text also explores common facets of disaster planning as well as issues of emergency medical services and global disaster planning.
