"Terrorist attacks, hurricanes, pandemic, earthquakes, tornadoes, oil spills, floods and tsunami -- Ed Minyard has responded to them all. Over the past 10 years, Ed has been involved in almost every major crisis in and around North America -- and one long-range mission to Japan. This book describes his adventures and presents a view that most have never seen -- from inside the heart of chaos. Read of Ed's experiences with politicians, heroes, tragic victims and yes, the inevitable crooks that always seem to be there to exploit these events. Ed tells it like it was -- no holds barred. In the end, it's the lessons from these terrible events that matter. Ed expresses those lessons with stright-talk, peppered with a bit of (sometimes dark) humor. Above all else, this book will educate the reader in the subject of preparedness -- but only if you take the lessons to heart. That part is up to you."--Back cover.

Butler, MD This book provides a comprehensive overview of the essential information that everyone working, or hoping to work in the field of aging, should know about disasters, emergencies, and their effects on the mental health and well-being of older persons. It provides the reader with evidence-based approaches for identifying and classifying mental health problems, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, and substance use disorders in older adults, which may occur during and post disasters/emergencies.

Key Features Increases understanding of the mental health issues in older adults Provides tools that can foster resiliency and recovery at the community, group, and individual levels Influences the development of positive responses to disasters that can potentially minimize adverse mental and physical outcomes in older persons and maximize individual and group recovery
