Disasters, emergencies and terrorism
Other Publication ResearchOnline@JCU[Extract] Each year, there are over 300 major disaster events worldwide, resulting in an average of 68,302 deaths, 210 million people affected and over US$150 million in damage (Centre for Research into the Epidemiology of Disasters [CRED] 2018). Effective disaster management can reduce the health consequences of both natural and man-made disasters. As public health practitioners, you will be often placed in a position to help plan and prepare for disasters, to respond to them, and to assist the community to recover from such an event. In particular, the community's response to outbreaks of disease is often led by public health practitioners in terms of preparation and response, and providing aid to community recovery.
