Abstract: | Background The fields of expertise of natural disasters and complex emergencies (CEs) are quite distinct, with different tools for mitigation
and response as well as different types of competent organizations and qualified professionals who respond. However, natural
disasters and CEs can occur concurrently in the same geographic location, and epidemics can occur during or following either
event. The occurrence and overlap of these three types of events have not been well studied. |
