• Description:
  When a major disaster strikes, emergency responders must act quickly and effectively. Any threat to their safety diminishes their ability to function at their best. Because safety conditions during a large-scale crisis are unfamiliar and unpredictable, standard approaches to safety management can fall short. A major disaster requires the many different agencies involved to join forces to safeguard responders - both during an event and while preparing for the next one.
