The second edition was to be written in order to keep both reader and student current in incident management. This was grounded in the fact that incident management systems are continually developing. These updates are needed to ensure the most recent and relevant information is provided to the reader.
While the overall theme of the book will remain the same of the first edition, research and research-based case studies will be used to support the need for utilizing emergency incident management systems. Contemporary research in the use (and non-use) of an incident management system provides clear and convincing evidence of successes and failures in managing emergencies. This research provides areas where first responders have misunderstood the scope and use of an emergency incident management system and what the outcomes were. Contemporary and historical (research-based) case studies in the United States and around the globe have shown the consequences of not using emergency incident management systems, including some that led to increased suffering and death rates. Research-based case studies from major incidents will be used to show the detrimental effects of not using or misunderstanding these principles. One of the more interesting chapters in the new edition is what incident management is used around the world.

Klappentext
Teaches Public Safety Concepts And Importance Of Using Emergency Incident Management In Every Response
This book contrasts the major forms of Incident Management/Incident Command Systems, illuminating the differences and offering a fresh perspective on the concepts on which these systems are founded in order to make them more accessible and user-friendly. New scholarly research and case studies help bridge the gap between the concepts' theoretical and academic foundations and their real-world applications, and it makes them more applicable to the professional's daily needs.
Emergency Incident Management Systems: Fundamentals and Applications, Second Edition begins with a history of incident management that ties to the Revolutionary War and more. It is followed by a case study of the Tokyo subway attack and the Oklahoma City bombing. It then examines incident management in other countries; the five C's of crisis (or incident) management; and the National Incident Management System (NIMS). Next, it provides an enlightening overview of the Incident Command System, followed by a chapter on command staff, general staff, and their functions. Several sections look at expanding operations, logistics, finance and planning, and intelligence. Other chapters look at ICS investigations and intelligence, agency administration, management by objective, SMART goals, and more.
