- Summary
- "Color-coded for rapid reference, this comprehensive text helps you locate essential information during a mass casualty event. All categories of large-scale crises are covered, from natural disasters to nuclear explosions. Easily identifiable icons rate personal and family risk; alert you to the necessity of isolation, quarantine, and reporting; and advise whether a substance is odorless and whether an antidote is available. For each threat being covered, a thorough overview is followed by instructions on patient assessment and management."--BOOK JACKET.
