Mostly scholars, but some practitioners, of nursing and other health care professions, as well as some contributors from political science, terrorism studies, and other fields, offer a foundation for developing best practice in disaster nursing and emergency preparedness, and for further research as the terrorism industry continues to grow and attract funding. They cover disaster preparedness and management; natural and accidental disasters; disasters caused by chemical, biological, and radiological agents; and special topics relating to the nursing profession.
