The book engages with and debates some of the most important Constitutional issues of our time, such as the tension between civil liberties and national security. It also examines how the law of emergencies plays out in the context of real life emergencies where individuals often have to make split-second decisions. It analyzes legal authority at the federal, state and local levels, placing the issues in historical context but concentrating on contemporary questions.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis book includes primary texts, reader-friendly expository explanations, and sample discussion questions. Prior knowledge of the law is not necessary in order to use and understand this book. The contents are organized into 13 substantive chapters plus two additional chapters with problem sets, making the book especially easy to use for a separate course focused on law. The book leads students through the process of understanding both what the law requires and how to analyze issues for which there is no clear legal answer. It features materials on such critical issues as how to judge the extent of Constitutional authority for government to intervene in the lives and property of American citizens. At the same time, it also captures bread-and-butter issues such as responder liability and disaster relief methods. No other book brings these components together in a logically organized, step by step fashion. The book also features case studies of high-risk scenarios including pandemic flu, together with charts and text boxes for clarification.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to graduate and undergraduate students studying the major legal principles underlying emergency management and homeland security policy and operations; professionals in EM and HS; and private-sector risk managers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePart 1: The Legal Framework\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 1: Our Constitutional Structure of Government\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 2: The Constitution and Individual Rights\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 3: Congress and the Agencies\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 4: The Domestic Use of Military Troops\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: The Law of Health Emergencies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 5: Federal Public Health Law\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 6: State Public Health Law\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 7: Contemporary Issues in Public Health Emergency Law\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 8: The Role of the Private Sector\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePart III: Disaster Management\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 9: The Stafford Act\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 10: The Powers of State and Local Governments\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 11: Who Does What\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 12: Searches, Seizures, and Evacuations\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 13: Sovereign Immunity and Government LiabilityChapter 14: Liability Issues for Individuals\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePart IV: Testing Your Knowledge\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 15: A Dirty Bomb Explodes in Washington, D.C.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eChapter 16: A Pandemic Flu Outbreak in New Jersey\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAppendix: Case Study: The Spring 2009 Swine Inluenza Outbreak\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eReferences\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Causes \u0026amp; prevention of crime [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Causes \u0026amp; prevention of crime\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Causes%20\u0026amp;%20prevention%20of%20crime%20%5BJKVC%5D%22\"\u003eJKVC\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Butterworth-Heinemann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46651776631064,"sku":"9781856175470","price":49.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781856175470.jpg?v=1696713375","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-law-of-emergencies-public-health-and-disaster-management-paperback-9781856175470","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
