The book offers a close look at the causes of disasters and their consequences for public health, and aims to help improve disaster prevention, monitoring, and response policies. It relies on epidemiology as a basic tool for disaster analysis and control.
This is an essential work of reference for health professionals who must make decisions concerning disaster preparedness, mitigation, and response, and in general for all those interested in reducing the often devastating impact of disasters on public health.
