Government Accountability Office. Budget Issues: FEMA Needs Adequate Data, Plans, and Systems to Effectively Manage Resources for Day-to-Day Operations (GAO-07-139). GAO Report to Congressional Committees. Jan 2007, 38 pages. At:
(3) RESOURCES -- EMERGENCY INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS:
Have received the following book, which looks to be of interest. Will post a note on the book when I've had an opportunity to review.
Molino, Louis N. Sr. Emergency Incident Management Systems - Fundamentals and Applications. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2006, 518 pages.
[Note from the back cover: "'Emergency Incident Management Systems: Fundamentals and Applications' contrasts the major forms of Incident Management/Incident Command Systems. The author illuminates these differences and offers a fresh perspective on the concepts on which these systems are founded in order to make them more accessible and user-friendly. Without suggesting major changes in the systems, he bridges the gap between their theoretical and academic foundations and their real-world applications, and makes them more applicable to the professional's daily needs."

The January 20, 2007 Newsletter of the Institute for Biosecurity at Saint Louis University (School of Public Health), notes the expansion of the current Masters of Science and Graduate Certificate in Biosecurity has been expanded into a Masters if Science and Graduate Certificate in Biosecurity and Disaster Preparedness.
