CTC offers several programs to train the first responders to an emergency. A search in the library catalog for 'emergency broadcast system' turned up a single title. Interestingly, a 'find' search for the phrase 'Emergency broadcast system' did not show a hit in this record. The three individual words are in the record but not the phrase. Why was this title pulled in the search?
Looking for the cover to use in this blog, revealed the companion site for the Homeland Security Handbook .
The thought came up, was this a supplement to the 2006 book or just a rehash (and sales pitch) for the 2006 edition? The chapter Section 8 - Emergency Management, Public Health and Medical Preparedness seemed like the section to check for updates. I did a 'find on this page' search for 2009, nothing. A search for 2010 did show multiple resources. The website does have current information to supplement the 2006 print edition!
This is a good example of how the internet can be used to maintain the currency of the printed edition.
