Evaluating the reliability of emergency response systems for large-scale incident operations /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

The ability to measure emergency preparedness - to predict the likely performance of emergency response systems in future events - is critical for policy analysis in homeland security. Yet it remains difficult to know how prepared a response system is to deal with large-scale incidents, whether it b...
