Summary: Good Mitigation Textbook
Comment: I found this book provides a very good overview of natural hazards mitigation. It gives practitioners research information they can use when tasked to build mitigation programs for their communities. Bridging this communication gap between practitioners and researcher has long been a mission of mine. This book is the designated textbook for a mitigation class I teach. The section on Preparedness, Response and Recovery provided a very good assessment of how organizations approach disaster management. I recommend this book for any disaster practictioner's library.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great book for disaster researchers
Comment: This is the follow up assessment for Gilbert White's 1975 Natural Hazards assessment. It discusses where the US is currently in regards to hazards and how to address them in a number of specific areas including mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery, vulnerability and many other topics. I would strongly encourage reading it whether you areonly interested in disasters or a full time researcher.
