There were a number of other references to medicine under austere  
circumstances given the article published last February in the BMJ coauthored by  
several members of this list.
 
While the article was aimed at providers wanting to respond to disasters in 
 distant regions, the references would also be handy for folks  preparing 
for disaster response at home.
 
the article can be found here:

again, my thanks to the list members who assisted in preparing the  article.

Dear Dr Mattox & list,

The majority of list members are probably  already aware of these 
resources, but, for those who are not, the IFRC  have a number of 
excellent publications on disaster management available  here:

FEMA  also has a number of what I thought were reasonable publications at  
www.fema.gov , particularly concerning personal disaster and evacuation  
plans.

Regards,
