This important book introduces pharmacists and pharmacy students to the basics of disaster and emergency management, illustrating not only the different roles that pharmacists can play within any disaster or emergency, but the practical steps they can take to prepare for these events. Starting with the UN-recognised Sendai Framework for disaster risk reduction, the book introduces the key concepts and models that pharmacists should understand, before detailing the place of pharmacists within each stage of an emergency or disaster. It also includes interviews with experts in disaster management, shedding light not only on the place of pharmacy within disaster and emergency management, but also the challenges and barriers involved in fulfilling this role. Concluding with practical advice and guidance, as well as how the lessons of disaster and emergency management can inform the everyday role of pharmacists within wider community healthcare, this will be essential reading for both professionals and students in the field.
