Aimed at medical care teams, public authorities and the different role players (actors) intervening on disaster sites, this book delivers all of the information necessary for the strategic, tactical and logistical organization (air and ground evacuation routes, means of communication, lodging, hygiene...) of rescue. The medical coverage for burn, head trauma and crush syndrome victims is precisely detailed on the level of first aid as well as the psychological followings of victims. The telluric, meteorologic and aerial disasters described in this book are completed by separate chapters dealing with chemical and nuclear accidents (contamination, toxic risk). In other respects, interventions at the time of bombings are the subject of a more specific extrapolation. In following with the concept of the "Encyclopedie Medico-Chirurgicale", this book is the fruit of more than 65 authors, selected among the most well-known names in the discipline.
