{"product_id":"information-systems-for-emergency-management-bartel-van-de-walle-9780765621344","title":"Information Systems for Emergency Management","description":"This book provides the most current and comprehensive overview available today of the critical role of information systems in emergency response and preparedness. It includes contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and industry researchers, and covers all phases of disaster management - mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. 'Foundational' chapters provide a design framework and review ethical issues. 'Context' chapters describe the characteristics of individuals and organizations in which EMIS are designed and studied. 'Case Study' chapters include systems for distributed microbiology laboratory diagnostics to detect possible epidemics or bioterrorism, humanitarian MIS, and response coordination systems. 'Systems Design and Technology' chapters cover simulation, geocollaborative systems, global disaster impact analysis, and environmental risk analysis. Throughout the book, the editors and contributors give special emphasis to the importance of assessing the practical usefulness of new information systems for supporting emergency preparedness and response, rather than drawing conclusions from a theoretical understanding of the potential benefits of new technologies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bartel Van De Walle,Murray Turoff,Starr Roxanne Hiltz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0765621347\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780765621344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2010 pg. 283","brand":"Bartel Van De Walle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086838804735,"sku":"9780765621344","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d74eeec1-d6b2-471e-8014-b39b00ff2909.jpg?v=1769096877","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/information-systems-for-emergency-management-bartel-van-de-walle-9780765621344","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
