DISASTER EPIDEMIOLOGY
Disaster epidemiology is used to develop
strategies for preventing both acute and chronic
health events due to natural or technological
hazards. Disaster epidemiology includes theassessment of needs; assessment of the
availability and use of health services;
surveillance systems for descriptive and analytic
investigations of disease and injury; research onrisk factors contributing to disease, injury, or
death; and information from surveillance systems
to develop strategies to control disease.

Emergency information systems
(EIS)
Emergency information systems (EIS) areused in disaster epidemiology to collect data
during the impact, response, and early
recovery stages. First, using the EIS,
managers determine the potential public
health outcomes for each disaster, such as
crush injuries from earthquakes or diarrheal
diseases from floods. Then, managers usethe EIS to collect data from on-scene sources
(such as hospitals, first-responder units,
pharmacies, and shelters) in order to
determine what health strategies and assets
