Title	Cultural competency for emergency and crisis management : concepts, theories and case studies / edited by Claire Connolly Knox and Brittany "Brie" Haupt
Imprint	London : Routledge, 2020
Descript	xix, 255 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm

Disasters are complex and dynamic events that test emergency and crisis professionals and leaders - even the most ethical ones. Within all phases of emergency management, disasters highlight social vulnerabilities that require culturally competent practices. The lack of culturally respectable responses to diverse populations underscores the critical need for cultural competency education and training in higher education and practice. Using a case study approach that is both adaptable and practical, this textbook is an accessible and essential guide on what makes teaching effective in emergency and crisis management.
