The pressure of climate change, environmental degradation, and
urbanisation, as well as the widening of socio- economic
disparities have rendered the global population increasingly
vulnerable to the impact of natural disasters. With a primary focus
on medical and public health humanitarian response to disasters,
Public Health Humanitarian Responses to Natural Disasters provides
a timely critical analysis of public health responses to natural
disasters. Using a number of case studies and examples of
innovative disaster response measures developed by international
agencies and stakeholders, this book illustrates how theoretical
understanding of public health issues can be practically applied in
the context of humanitarian relief response. Starting with an
introduction to public health principles within the context of
medical and public health disaster and humanitarian response, the
book goes on to explore key trends, threats and challenges in
contemporary disaster medical response. This book provides a
comprehensive overview of an emergent discipline and offers a
unique multidisciplinary perspective across a range of relevant
topics including the concepts of disaster preparedness and
resilience, and key challenges in human health needs for the
twenty-first century. This book will be of interest to students of
public health, disaster and emergency medicine and development
studies, as well as to development and medical practitioners
working within NGOs, development agencies, health authorities and
public administration.
