Transportation Disaster Response Handbook presents information and strategies for dealing with all types of disasters and looks at the unique aspects of transportation-related incidents. It outlines how to prepare for emergencies, what to expect during a disaster, how individuals within the emergency agencies should respond, and how these agencies can quickly mobilize to minimize damage and provide assistance to victims.
This practical handbook shows you how to:
· Design a disaster preparedness plan
· Assess and clarify incidents as soon as they occur
· Anticipate and handle issues for each type of disaster
· Assist victims and provide aid to emergency personnel
· Coordinate with emergency units and aid groups
· Search for and recover physical evidence
· Deal with the media
· Plan business recovery
· And much more!
The authors use examples of real disasters to illustrate key points and show how to effectively implement strategies before, during, and after a disaster. The Handbook will be an essential resource for police, fire fighters, medical professionals, government and military groups, transportation officials, emergency response planners, aid groups, forensic investigators, and security and business managers.
Jay Levinson received his Ph.D. and undergraduate degrees from New York University. From 1972 until 1981 he worked for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as a document examiner. He is a member of the American Society of Questioned Document Examiners, and was certified as a diplomate by the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners. In 1981 Dr Levinson joined the Israel National Police, first as a document examiner, then as a training officer. He now heads up special projects in the crime laboratory division. Dr Levinson has published more than 80 articles and papers dealing with document examination and forensic science. He has also given instruction in document examination in more than 20 countries and as an invited lecturer at several universities. Both authors have extensive experience with bus bomb incidents from the wave of terrorist attacks that plagued Israel in the 1990s, and have been involved in responding to airplane crashes and other transportation disasters.
