A review by maryjoens
Disasterology by Samantha Montano

5.0

A really excellent intro to emergency management and disaster studies for the layperson. It's very accessible without ever making the reader feel talked down to, and I love that it ends with not just a call to action but explicit advice and actionable things you can do to get started, as well as additional resources. Montano also does a great job balancing respect/admiration for emergency managers/first responders/volunteers without romanticizing them or their roles and still making sharp critiques of failures in emergency management. Very impressive all around.

Also the audiobook narrator did a 10/10 fabulous job.
