INTRODUCTION
Population
growth, expansion into previously uninhabited areas and environmental
degradation have all increased the exposure of most countries to natural
hazards including cyclonic storms, floods, and famine, while exposure to
hazards such as earthquakes and tsunamis is ever-present in many regions of the
world.
According to
the WHO Global Health Survey, the most common types of emergencies in surveyed
countries were caused by floods, earthquakes, and severe storms, including
snowstorms.
More than
half of the respondents did not recognize the near-universal exposure of human
populations to technological hazards in the 21st century. This
suggests a need to adopt an “all hazards” approach to national health emergency
preparedness and response policies and programs, utilizing generic arrangements
that are suitable for any type of emergency or disaster, given the diverse
nature of the reported natural hazards experienced in the last.
