The Disaster Management Center at the University of Wisconsin–Madison thanks the Office of
Foreign Disaster Assistance for early support of course development. In particular, Gudren
Huden, Denise Decker and Fred Cole deserve special recognition for their understanding of this
innovative educational process. At the University of Wisconsin, Linda Hook, Darrell Petska,
Kate Olle, and Kristen Baer must be thanked for their efforts in preparing and editing the
manuscript; and at Artifax, Susan Kummer and Val Parish for layout and typesetting. The
course development process is never over, and each of these people understands that very
well.
