Extreme Emergencies: Humanitarian Assistance to Civilian Populations following Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive Incidents -- A Sourcebook
-
Roy E. Roper
Anthea Sanyasi was commissioned by a number of humanitarian organizations, led by British medical relief agency Merlin, to create this sourcebook, Extreme Emergencies: Humanitarian Assistance to Civilian Populations following Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive Incidents. The sourcebook, intended to capture the wisdom of the humanitarian nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) as they have responded to “extreme emergencies” historically, is a valuable addition to the reference materials for this particular audience’s engagement in CBRNE response, both within the continental US and elsewhere. Extreme Emergencies focuses on procedural and technological issues in response and provides a reference point for how future educational efforts might be structured for these intended audiences. This CBRNE sourcebook is for international NGOs providing humanitarian assistance in middle- and low-income countries.
