Summary This book examines the nature of domestic terrorism. It includes a review of the history of terrorism, an examination of contemporary domestic terrorism and an analysis of intelligence gathering, threat analysis and emergency responses to terrorism incident management. The book is divided into three parts. Part One, The Definitional and Historical Dimensions of Terrorism, focuses on terrorism in a broad context. The chapters in this section deal with problems associated with the handling of terrorism by policymakers and law enforcement, a historical overview of terrorism and terrorist incidents in the global community, and a historical examination of terrorism in the United States. In Part Two, Contemporary Domestic Terrorism, a review of the American Hate Movement and patriot-militia activities is undertaken. The chapters in this section also look at the emergence of special-interest extremist and terrorist groups that advocate violence based on ideology or belief. The review includes ecological resistance groups, anti-environmental movements, animal rights, and anti-abortion activists. Selected case studies designed to illustrate the range of political-extremist and terrorist events in the United States during the contemporary period are presented in this section. In addition, this section also includes a chapter that describes the changing character of groups involved in domestic terrorism and the use of specific tools and tactics by terrorists. Part Three, Intelligence Gathering and Emergency Response and Incident Management to Terrorism, examines effective criminal intelligence gathering techniques and the implementation of terrorist incident management strategies. One of the chapters in this section reviews the system of collecting criminal intelligence information of terrorist enterprises while reinforcing the concepts of due process and privacy rights; another chapter in this section examines terrorism incident management strategies for prevention, threat assessment, domestic preparedness, and tactics for a unified response to a conventional or weapon of mass destruction.

Crisis, chaos, and organizations : the coronavirus and lessons for organizational theory / edited by Daniel J. Svyantek, Auburn University.

Call Number 658.4056 23ENG20211129
Publication Date 2022
Summary "The COVID-19 pandemic provides an illustration of how chaotic change to large systems are caused by small, seemingly insignificant environmental events such as the initial case(s) of COVID-19 in China. From this small starting point for the pandemic, there have been (and continue to be) millions of lives lost and trillions of dollars spent trying to alleviate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. World government and corporate leaders are striving to deal with this pandemic, but uncertainty is felt across the globe. Unprecedented strategies (e.g., the United States government's multi-trillion-dollar stimulus package (s)) have been used to halt the spread of COVID-19. These small events cascade throughout larger and larger systems leading to unforeseeable consequences. Organizations must experiment and make decisions on how to react. Decisions must be made and implemented to see what the effects of these decisions are. The chapters in this volume provide important insights for all organizations during this time of crisis. The chapters express bottom-up and top-down approaches to a crisis-initiating environmental change by organizations. The chapters provide insight into the way organizations perceive the effect of COVID-19 as 1) a permanent or transitory change in the organization's environment; and 2) as a crisis or opportunity. Taken together, the chapters provide both scientists and practitioners with a starting point for understanding the impact of COVID-19 on organizational theory and on management practice for readers"--

Summary Education is the key to risk reduction, be it environmental management or disaster risk reduction, and is a process which needs to be embedded at different levels of management and practices to collectively reduce the risk. While school education forms the foundations of the knowledge cycle, for effective knowledge use, it is necessary to link school and community education. Education is linked to enhanced awareness and a key reflection of education is seen in terms of actions. Divided into four sections this book begins with an informative introduction to the subject of disaster risk reduction education and proceeds to highlight key places of education such as family, community, school, and higher education. It then examines approaches, methods and tools before providing a future perspective and pointing to the way ahead. This is the first book of its kind on disaster risk reduction education. A ready reference for practitioners in the field this book describes and demonstrates different aspects of education in an easy-to-understand form with current academic research and practical field experiences included throughout.

Summary Despite the evident advantages that being prepared for natural life-threatening events confers on people and communities, research has consistently found that individual, community, and business preparedness levels are low. This book examines why this is so and identifies what can be done to expedite the development of sustained preparedness, at household, community, and societal levels. The text emphasizes the need for this aspect of social risk management to be based on engagement principles: how people engage with their natural environment, how they engage with each other, and how people an.

Protecting emergency responders, Vol. 4, Personal protective equipment guidelines for structural collapse events / Henry H. Willis [and others].

2024-05-14T15:16:06Z

by Willis, Henry H.
Call Number 363.3481 22
Publication Date 2006
Summary This monograph serves as a technical source for National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) incident commander guidelines for emergency response immediately following large structural collapse events. It characterizes response activities and expected hazards, and develops guidelines for selecting appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). The partial or complete collapse of a multistory building creates an array of physical, chemical, and biological hazards. The most significant uncertainties are the composition and magnitude of the hazards present in the postcollapse environment. Although hazard monitoring can reduce these uncertainties, this type of monitoring will not be available during the first few postcollapse hours. The guidelines focus on three issues that present unique challenges in the response to a multistory-building collapse: (1) protection from biological hazards; (2) protection from inhalation of hazardous materials; and (3) required modifications to responders' typical PPE ensembles because of the duration and intensity of the response. However, selecting and purchasing appropriate PPE does not alone ensure safety; the guidelines also address the need to provide adequate supply of equipment and training so that it is used correctly.

Environment disaster linkages [electronic resource] / edited by Rajib Shaw, Phong Tran.

2024-05-14T15:16:06Z

by Shaw, Rajib.
Call Number 363.7 23
Publication Date 2012
Summary Disaster management has historically focused on reactive approaches, but a shift to proactive approaches is crucial for addressing concerns raised by the changing environment. A prime reason for the absence of proactive approaches in disaster/hazard management is the uncertainty or ambiguity present in the links between the environment and the hazards. This is the first book to focus on explicit linkages between the changing environment and disasters and suggests better approaches towards disaster management. A ready-reference for field practitioners it combines academic research and field practices and covers areas such as: elements of environmental entry (water-related disasters, desertification and land degradation, typhoon risk management, catastrophic flood and forest management, and coastal issues); impacts of environment and disaster (livelihoods impacts, human health: post-disaster waste management); and strategies, planning and the way forward (climate change adaptation as a planning tool, urban planning and land use planning, mangrove management as a coastal planning tool, and environment disaster education and risk communication).

Facing catastrophe [electronic resource] : environmental action for a post-Katrina world / Robert R.M. Verchick.

by Verchick, Robert R. M.
Call Number 363.340973 22
Publication Date 2010
Summary "In this bold contribution to environmental law, Robert Verchick argues for a new perspective on disaster law that is based on the principles of environmental protection. His prescription boils down to three simple commands: Go Green, Be Fair, and Keep Safe. Going green means minimizing exposure to hazards by preserving natural buffers and integrating those buffers into artificial systems like levees or seawalls. Being fair means looking after public health, safety, and the environment without increasing personal and social vulnerabilities. Keeping safe means a more cautionary approach when confronting disaster risks". --Publisher.

Publication Date 2018
Summary Catastrophic failure is all around us. From the disastrous Post Office software, which led to a multimillion-pound lawsuit, to the mix-up at the 2017 Oscars Awards ceremony, these errors are the unfortunate ramifications of our dizzyingly advancing world. But what causes such ruinous mistakes? And can we do anything about them? In Meltdown, world-leading experts in disaster prevention, Chris Clearfield and Andras Tilcsik, use real-life examples from around the world to reveal the errors in thinking, perception, and system design that lie behind both our everyday errors and disasters like the Fukushima nuclear accident. But most crucially, Meltdown is about finding solutions. It reveals why ugly designs make us safer, how a five-minute exercise can prevent billion-dollar catastrophes, why teams with fewer experts are better at managing risk, and why diversity is one of our best safeguards against failure. The result is an eye-opening and empowering book - one that will change the way you see our complex world and your own place in it.
