The Private Sector's Role In Disasters

The private sector plays a tremendous role in the creation of policies related to emergency management and their implementation at the federal, state, and local levels. This book examines the role of the private sector and its intersection with government, government agencies, and the public sectors in all phases of emergency management. With a particular focus on the areas in which government regulation and guidelines promote or encourage private sector involvement, the book also looks at best practices for public-private partnerships and some of the common pitfalls of the contracting model.
