Environmental health in emergencies and disasters: a practical guide 

Edited by B. Wisner and J. Adams

The WHO Guide to sanitation in natural disasters (Assar, 1971) summarized
the essential aspects of environmental health management in disasters. These
included the provision of emergency water and sanitation services; the
burial or cremation of the dead; vector and pest control; food hygiene; and
the assessment of the danger of epidemics following emergencies and
disasters, etc. Thirty years later these aspects remain essential, though
the needs, challenges and opportunities are greater.

The present book deals not only with emergency response, but also with
measures designed to reduce the impact of disasters on environmental health
infrastructure, such as water supply and sanitation facilities. It also aims
to strengthen the ability of people to withstand the disruption of their
accustomed infrastructure and systems for environmental health (e.g.
shelter, water supply, sanitation, vector control etc.) and to recover
rapidly.
