AB An  increasing  number  and  variety  of  workers  are  being  called  upon  to  respond  to  disasters.  In  2017  alone,  16  severe  weather  incidents  in  the  United  States,  ranging  from  wildfires  to  hurricanes,  caused  more  than  $1  billion  worth  of  damage.  Disasters  are  unpredictable  and  can  be  human-induced  (such  as  a  chemical  spill  or  radiation  incident)  or  naturally  occurring  (such  as  a  flood  or  an  emerging  infectious  disease  outbreak)—any  of  which,  if  severe  enough,  can  become  a  public  health  crisis.
