When communities face complex public health emergencies, state local, tribal, and territorial public health agencies must make difficult decisions regarding how to effectively respond. The public health emergency preparedness and response (PHEPR) system, with its multifaceted mission to prevent, protect against, quickly respond to, and recover from public health emergencies, is inherently complex and encompasses policies, organizations, and programs. Since the events of September 11, 2001, the United States has invested billions of dollars and immeasurable amounts of human capital to develop and enhance public health emergency preparedness and infrastructure to respond to a wide range of public health threats, including infectious diseases, natural disasters, and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear events. Despite the investments in research and the growing body of empirical literature on a range of preparedness and response capabilities and functions, there has been no national-level, comprehensive review and grading of evidence for public health emergency preparedness and response practices comparable to those utilized in medicine and other public health fields. Evidence-Based Practice for Public Health Emergency Preparedness and Response reviews the state of the evidence on PHEPR practices and the improvements necessary to move the field forward and to strengthen the PHEPR system. This publication evaluates PHEPR evidence to understand the balance of benefits and harms of PHEPR practices, with a focus on four main areas of PHEPR: engagement with and training of community-based partners to improve the outcomes of at-risk populations after public health emergencies; activation of a public health emergency operations center; communication of public health alerts and guidance to technical audiences during a public health emergency; and implementation of quarantine to reduce the spread of contagious illness.

In late 2019, the first unexplained -often deadly-respiratory infection records came from Wuhan, China. The cause of this infection has rapidly been identified as a new coronavirus, similar to those causing extreme acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreaks from 2002-2004 and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreaks from 2012. The World Health Organization has announced a public health emergency of international importance, COVID-19, a new virus. By early March 2020, more than 90,000 individuals around the world had been poisoned with the latest coronavirus, now known as SARS COV-2, and at least 3,100 had been murdered. There is actually no 2019 coronavirus preventive vaccine (COVID-19). The best way to prevent illness is to avoid exposure to this infection. The virus is primarily thought to transmit from person to person. Both people in near touch (around 6 feet) with each other. Respiratory droplets while an affected person coughs or sneezes. Such droplets can end up in the mouth or nose of people in the vicinity or who may be inhaled into the lungs. This book intends to cover all the aspects of the disease and the prevailing situation all around the globe. In this precise yet compact masterpiece, you will learn about: - Coronavirus disease - Symptoms of Corona - Precautions and prevention - Spread and transmission - Virus an economic crisis - Virus and worldwide prohibitions - Coronavirus - a pandemic - Precautions at school, colleges for children - Precautions at large gatherings and public spots - Precautions at healthcare facilities - Precautions while traveling in public transport - Dos and Don'ts of social distancing - DIY Disinfectant Since the book surprisingly covers all the necessary information about the disease that will be easily understood by any layman, I recommend you purchase it.

Disasters such as earthquakes, cyclones, floods, heat waves, nuclear accidents, and large scale pollution incidents take lives and cause exceptionally large health problems. The majority of large-scale disasters affect the most vulnerable populations, which are often comprised of people of extreme ages, in remote living areas, with endemic poverty, and with low literacy. Health-related emergency disaster risk management (Health-EDRM) [1] refers to the systematic analysis and management of health risks surrounding emergencies and disasters; it plays an important role in reducing hazards and vulnerability along with extending preparedness, response, and recovery measures. This concept encompasses risk analyses and interventions, such as accessible early warning systems, timely deployment of relief workers, and the provision of suitable drugs and medical equipment, to decrease the impact of disaster on people before, during, and after disaster events. Disaster risk profiling and interventions can be at the personal/household, community, and system/political levels; they can be targeted at specific health risks including respiratory issues caused by indoor burning, re-emergence of infectious disease due to low vaccination coverage, and gastrointestinal problems resulting from unregulated waste management. Unfortunately, there has been a major gap in the scientific literature regarding Health-EDRM. The aim of this Special Issue of IJERPH was to present papers describing/reporting the latest disaster and health risk analyses, as well as interventions for health-related disaster risk management, in an effort to address this gap and facilitate major global policies and initiatives for disaster risk reduction.
