As of June 2020, this site has been revamped to feature recent textbooks in the field of emergency management. Textbooks are not getting the attention they deserve. It takes years to produce them and they contain a wealth of knowledge not available from most online sources. As the editor and author of such books, we want students and practitioners to be able to find and use these valuable resources.
Recent Books by Rubin, et al:
Third Edition of Emergency Management: the American Experience. Claire B. Rubin, Editor. Routledge Press. (August 2019) The newly revised edition covers historic disaster events and their outcomes for the years 1900-2010.
U.S. Emergency Management in the 21st Century: From Disaster to Catastrophe. Claire B. Rubin and Susan L. Cutter, Editors. Routledge Press. (December 2019). This all new book follows in the footsteps of the history book noted above. It is broader in scope, however, giving more attention to the recovery phase planning process as well as to changes in federal requirements and programs since 2010. Use this code to get a discount: SOC19.
NEWS: This book is being revised currently. Editors are Susan Cutter, Melanie Gall, and Claire Rubin. The new book should be available from Routledge in late summer of 2023.
