populations affected by disaster.
2. To identify the potential for a secondary
disaster.
3. To appraise both risks and resources in the
environment.

4. Adaptation of necessary nursing skills to disaster
and other emergency situation. The nurse must
be use imagination and resourcefulness in

HEALTH EFFECTS OF DISASTER
1. Disaster may cause premature deaths, illness
and injuries in the affected communities,
generally exceeding the capacity of the local
health care system.
2. Disaster may destroy the local health care
Infrastructure which will therefore be unable to
respond to the emergency. Disruption of routine
health care services and prevention initiatives
may lead to long term consequences in health
outcomes in terms of increased morbidity and
mortality.
HEALTH EFFECTS OF DISASTER
3. Disaster may create environmental imbalances,
increasing the risk of communicable diseases and
environmental hazards.
4. Disaster may affect the psychological, emotional
and social well-being of the population in the
affected community. It may range from fear,
anxiety, and depression to widespread panic and
terror.
5. Disaster may cause shortage of food and cause
severe nutritional deficiency.
HEALTH EFFECTS OF DISASTER
6. Disaster may cause large population movements
(refugees) creating a burden on other health
care systems and communities. Displaced
populations and their host communities are at
increasing risk for communication diseases and
the health consequences of crowded living
conditions.
