Download Americans at Risk: Why We Are Not Prepared for Megadisasters and What We Can Do AudioBook Free
In Us citizens at Risk, Dr. Irwin Redlener attracts on his wide-ranging experience as a pediatrician dealing with mobile emergency systems both for children and adults, his time making advice to legislators about the vulnerabilities of children to biological and chemical brokers and his regular conferences with Tom Ridge of the office of Homeland Security over a period of four years to create this urging a plan for a coordinated plan between administration and the private sector. Redlener seems that Us citizens have made a mistake after 9/11 of adding all responsibility into the hands of administration and official organizations to plan preventing whatever catastrophe can happen in the foreseeable future. Hurricane Katrina would appear to point to the actual fact that America has made little improvement in its capacity to respond to disasters - the four years since 9/11 have been only an stressed period of heightened awareness about uncertain hazards - as in red and orange alerts - and a degradation of what used to be expected medical services - such as providing the right amount of the flu vaccine. Redlener, in this booklet, will outline a plan of how the community can be up to date and well prepared which he seems would go a long way to averting a large-scale disaster. The booklet is divided into four parts. Redlener starts by looking at the American mind-set pre-9/11 and what proceeded to go incorrect with Rita and Katrina before showing eight terrifying and stunning disaster cases from avian flu to agro terrorism, suicide bombings to earthquakes and an extended global blackout. In section three he lays out a plan of how citizens and the federal government can work together and section four is helpful information to citizen preparedness. That is a booklet that addresses our evolved world, both of global warming and terrorism and it reveals plans we cannot ignore.
