- Abstract
"Cultural Competency for Emergency and Crisis Management: Concepts, Theories, and Case Studies" is a book that provides a toolkit for instructors in emergency management to integrate cultural competency training into their courses. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural dynamics of communities when engaging with topics like social vulnerability, crisis communication, and public engagement. It offers a diverse set of options for integrating cultural competency into emergency management courses, rather than in a separate course. The book includes case-based exercises that cover a variety of emergency management issues and provides practical strategies for managing difficult conversations. While the book is comprehensive, the reviewer expresses a desire for more cases and longer exercises. Overall, the book fills an important gap in the existing literature and provides accessible material for teaching cultural competency in emergency management.
