In the wake of a large-scale disaster, from the initial devastation
through the long tail of recovery, protecting the health and
well-being of the affected individuals and communities is
paramount. Accurate and timely information about mortality and
significant morbidity related to the disaster are the cornerstone
of the efforts of the disaster management enterprise to save lives
and prevent further health impacts. Conversely, failure to
accurately capture mortality and significant morbidity data
undercuts the nation's capacity to protect its population.
Information about disaster-related mortality and significant
morbidity adds value at all phases of the disaster management
cycle. As a disaster unfolds, the data are crucial in guiding
response and recovery priorities, ensuring a common operating
picture and real-time situational awareness across stakeholders,
and protecting vulnerable populations and settings at heightened
risk. A Framework for Assessing Mortality and Morbidity After
Large-Scale Disasters reviews and describes the current state of
the field of disaster-related mortality and significant morbidity
assessment. This report examines practices and methods for data
collection, recording, sharing, and use across state, local,
tribal, and territorial stakeholders; evaluates best practices; and
identifies areas for future resource investment. Table of Contents
