Drawing upon research from the UK medical relief agency Merlin, Extreme Emergencies is a practical survival manual for chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive disasters, intended especially for humanitarian organizations serving middle and low-income nations, who are most likely to face such deadly man-made threats. From basic tactical management procedures to identification and containment of hazards, appropriate decontamination procedures, quick-reference cards for fast consultation, and an extensive directory of organizations, conventions, websites, and references, Extreme Emergencies is a "must-have" for its target audience and highly recommended for anyone who needs to know how to best prepare and react in such crises. A straightforward reference and resouce that spares no details or small talk but focuses expressly on survival, triage, and what most needs to be done.
