Enhancing community disaster resilience through mass sporting events.
Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness 2011 December
Disaster response requires rapid, complex action by multiple agencies that may rarely interact during nondisaster periods.

We believe that it is possible to enhance community disaster preparedness through practical application during mass sporting events.
