TY - BOOK T1 - Emergencies and Public Health Crisis Management-Current Perspectives on Risks and Multiagency Collaboration Y1 - 2020 A1 - Amir Khorram-Manesh A1 - Frederick M. Burkle Jr. AB -

Disasters and public health emergencies are inevitable and can happen anywhere and anytime. However, they can be mitigated and their impacts can be minimized by utilizing appropriate measures in all four different phases of disaster management, i.e., mitigation and prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery. Several factors are crucial for achieving successful disaster management. Altogether, this Issue offers new insights into emergency and public health crisis management from a multiagency perspective and allows discussion about new potential risks; lessons learned; and the introduction of new concepts such as flexible surge capacity, and shows some new aspects of practicing multiagency collaboration before, during, and after disasters and public health emergencies.
