Summary:

Firefighters are taught to battle flames. Police learn to respond quickly to 911 calls. So why are so few health officials prepared for public health crises? 'The Public Health Crisis Survival Guide' is here to help. Whether it's an infectious disease outbreak, a scathing news report, or a sudden budget calamity, this work gives public health readers an honest and practical overview of what to do when things go wrong - not just to survive, but to lead and thrive in the most difficult circumstances.
