| Abstract | This book was written mainly for two groups of readers: emergency planners / administrators and environmental technical staff. This book deals with environmental health during the disaster-management cycle. Part I answers the questions: what, where, when, why and who? Part II answers the question: how? Part I (Chapters 2-5) takes up each element in the disaster-management cycle and shows how appropriate planning and organization can enable those concerned with environmental health to meet the challenge of emergencies, and then how they can help promote disaster prevention as a developmental activity. Part II (Chapters 6-14) deals with the practical implementation of technical measures, according to the priorities identified in Part I. |
