It illustrates how nurses can restore stability in the aftermath of a chaotic event and analyzes the nurses' role as part of a community response.
Key features:
- Explains in detail what nurses can expect during disasters and what measures to take when disaster strikes
- Examines previous natural disasters and calls into question whether disasters were caused by accidents or intentional/unintentional human error
- Discusses policy implications of the different disasters, focusing on the federal government's response
- Investigates the roles and effects of race, class, and gender during a disaster
