Sažetak
The past two decades have evidenced that natural and political forces challenge us to prepare our medical and public health capabilities to respond to a spectrum of horrific events. Wars, tsunamis, terrorist attacks, pandemics, and ecological changes are but some of the events that have and will continue to place our populations at risk and our responders in harm's way. This text, the Handbook for Pandemic and Mass-Casualty Planning and Response, has captured the lectures and teachings of an extraordinary 12-day NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Slavonski Brod, Croatia, in late 2011, the purpose of which was to address the medical and public health response to disasters. The intent of this handbook is to offer the disaster medicine professional community writ large the information and tools to better prepare, individually and collaboratively, to mitigate mortality and morbidity when catastrophe occurs.
