目的:本文概述了公共卫生可有助于提高总体灾害管理效率的一些重要领域。本文讨论了一些更重要的突发性自然灾害和未来潜在威胁(例如,故意或故意释放的生物制剂),并概述了有效的紧急医疗和公共卫生应对这些事件的要求。结论:所有的自然灾害都是独一无二的,因为世界上每个受影响的地区都有不同的社会,经济和健康背景。然而,不同自然灾害对健康的影响存在一些相似之处,如果认识到这一点,就可以确保健康和紧急医疗救济以及有限的资源得到妥善管理。
OBJECTIVE: This article outlines a number of important areas in which public health can contribute to making overall disaster management more effective. This article discusses health effects of some of the more important sudden impact natural disasters and potential future threats (e.g., intentional or deliberately released biologic agents) and outlines the requirements for effective emergency medical and public health response to these events.CONCLUSION: All natural disasters are unique in that each affected region of the world has different social, economic, and health backgrounds. Some similarities exist, however, among the health effects of different natural disasters, which if recognized, can ensure that health and emergency medical relief and limited resources are well managed.
