Emergency Law: Rights, liabilities and duties of emergency workers and volunteers

Abstract

Emergency Law is a handbook for those involved in planning for and responding to emergencies. It is a clear and concise account of the law that applies in a civil emergency, as well as the law relevant to the Australian emergency services. It describes the rights and obligations of those who provide emergency care to the sick or injured, be they professionals, trained volunteers, neighbours, or strangers who stop to help.
