4.0 out of 5 stars EMS incident command - Disaster Medicine Point of view, January 21, 2000

David E. Hogan (Oklahoma City) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: EMS Incident Management System, The: Operations for Mass Casualty and High Impact Incidents (Hardcover)

Well written and informative. Good review of incident management system. The information provided regarding disaster medicine is from the EMS response point of view and is useful for Emergency Physicians and Disaster researchers from the point of view of understanding EMS response in disasters. This book should be part of the overall collection of any physician working in area of Disaster Medicine.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much needed resource by two of the best in the business!, June 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: EMS Incident Management System, The: Operations for Mass Casualty and High Impact Incidents (Hardcover)

I've had the pleasure to work with these guys and see them in action. They practice what they preach. Even the novice or EMS "groupie", will learn from their vast experience and knowledge. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars OUTSTANDING BOOK, June 8, 2000

Christopher - See all my reviews

This review is from: EMS Incident Management System, The: Operations for Mass Casualty and High Impact Incidents (Hardcover)

This is a GREAT book. The authors have done an outstanding job bridging the EMS and medical aspects of disaster management with the IMS system. Surely a must include text in any disaster training program
