The ‘First Wave’: Earliest Intervention in Peritraumatic Processes among Survivors of Catastrophic Events

Killorin Riddell, Monty Clouse

Immediate intervention in peritraumatic processes protects the functionality of individuals and work groups charged with emergency response and recovery, and mitigates the cumulative impact of trauma upon the organizational system.
