Moment of Truth: The Nature of Catastrophes and How to Prepare for Them

From a layman's perspective, the book is interesting. I also believe that anyone in an emergency management profession would find it valuable, resourceful, and insightful -- especially someone just taking on such a role. For them it should be a "must read".

Anyone involved in emergency management should read this book. The author has a lot of real-world experience and shares the good, the bad, and the ugly in disaster response. Use this book as a reference to improve your jurisdictions’s response.

As a survivor of both "The High Park Fire" in Colorado and "Hurricane Irma" in Florida I had a very basic knowledge of how the emergency management systems work. It is unbelievable how well the people in charge take control and solve such wide ranging problems with a system that is basically poorly organized. A new found respect for people who are in these fields and a feeling of anxiety for "the big one!" Excellent book.

This was an excellent book for lay people as well as for emergency managers. I would highly recommend it to add anyones 's reading list!

Was happy to volunteer under a great man such as Kelly now to read many stories is a true keeper.

A must for any Emergency Manager. This book tells the hard truths and gives great insight to disaster response and recovery.

Very timely info, well written. A must-read for Emergency Managers and First Responders.

Good book, new and undamaged

Amazing book!!! Buy this book!
