Introduction to Emergency Management in Canada - A Book Review

Time to add a new title to your emergency management library. I have just received my copy of Introduction to Emergency Management in Canada (2023) Editors Chris J. Collins and Darren Blackburn, published by Emond (https://emond.ca/Store/Books/ ). I am still reading it at the moment, and without finishing this volume, I highly recommend this book. First, it has a Canadian spin which is nice in textbooks. Second, many of the authors were my instructors at the Justice Institute of British Columbia. Most importantly, this is a well written book that is formatting for easy reading and finding information. The logic of the chapters works well. Inside the chapters, the format works well, at least for me.

I will write a more thorough review once this semester is finished, and I have time for a deeper read of this excellent book.

So, are you still reading this?? Did you order your copy, yet??

What are you waiting for??

Emergency preparedness begins with knowledge. Knowledge comes from many sources, like excellent books!!
