Disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones, floods, heat waves, nuclear accidents, andlarge-scale pollution incidents take lives and incur major health problems. The majorityof large-scale disasters affect the most vulnerable populations, which often compriseextreme ages, remote living areas, and endemic poverty, as well as people with lowliteracy. Health emergency and disaster risk management (Health-EDRM) refers to thesystematic analysis and management of health risks surrounding emergencies anddisasters, and plays an important role in reducing the hazards and vulnerability alongwith extending preparedness, responses, and recovery measures. This conceptencompasses risk analyses and interventions, such as accessible early warning systems,the timely deployment of relief workers, and the provision of suitable drugs and medicalequipment to decrease the impact of disasters on people before, during, and after anevent (or events). Currently, there is a major gap in the scientific literature regardingHealth-EDRM to facilitate major global policies and initiatives for disaster risk reductionworldwide.
