Assessing Needs in the Health Sector after Floods and Hurricanes
The establishment of a standard methodology for rapid disaster assessment in the event of hurricanes and flooding is the subject of this publication. The author provides detailed checklists of questions that must be asked by teams assessing both immediate and long-term risks to a population in the areas of communicable disease, environmental sanitation, food and nutrition, and vectors. Recommendations are made for likely sources of information in these areas. To access the book in full-text visit the Health Library for Disasters.
