Addressing Local, National and Global Needs Through
Education and Research
Recent events in our nation and the
world have focused attention on
natural disasters, mass-casualty
events and public-service
disruptions resulting from terrorist
threats, biological and chemical
terrorism, war, tsunamis,
earthquakes, hurricanes, floods,
wildfires, volcano activity and
major power-grid disruptions.
Additionally, society faces an
increasing number of accidents
involving hazardous materials. All
of these situations cause immense
hardship to people, animals, the
environment, physical structures and
our public infrastructure. They have
also served to shine new light on
the problems of disaster
preparedness by public safety and
emergency-medical services (EMS) and
public-health systems.
The need for a highly organized
disaster-preparedness
infrastructure and individuals with
expertise in this area is now
readily apparent to the government
and private sector, with
disaster emergency planning and
management becoming an
expanding area of study in medicine,
emergency-medical services, public
safety, mental health, public health
and the military.
