A recent rise in the frequency of natural disasters, mass shootings, and terrorist attacks means that there has never been a greater need for emergency response professionals. Comments from people in the industry, current statistics and forecasts, and realistic descriptions provide a useful look at emergency response jobs ranging from firefighters to search and rescue specialists to trauma surgeons.
