Very Useful Book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Methods of Disaster Research (Paperback)
My interest in disaster (disaster recovery) is purely practical. I am responsible for IT audit in a listed company operating from multiple locations.This book is thought provoking - the research techniques on post event analysis were most useful. The appendices alone (references / links to organizations involved in disaster planning & response ) made this a worth while purchase. Postscript: The book included some interesting comments on an after incident report for hurricane Betsy (command and control of New Orleans police resources / security / looting)disappointing to note that they were not acted upon. The book is aimed at academics - it deserves a wider audience.
