Summary
Details

Emergency Medical Care in Disasters, by John W. Raker, provides essential guidance for medical professionals and first responders dealing with large-scale emergencies. Originally published in 1956, this book offers a comprehensive overview of the strategies and techniques necessary to provide effective medical care in the chaotic environment following a disaster.

The text covers a range of critical topics, including triage, first aid, and the coordination of medical resources. While some information may reflect the practices of the mid-20th century, the fundamental principles discussed remain highly relevant to modern disaster preparedness and response. This book is a valuable historical resource for understanding the evolution of emergency medical practices and a foundational reference for anyone interested in the field.
