Begins with a discussion of the relevance of disasters to public health, followed by a literature review of disaster management and epidemiology with emphasis on sudden-impact natural disasters. The review then focuses on the information requirements for sudden-impact natural disaster management and provides a detailed discussion of how, when and what types of information should be collected for the assessment of sudden-impact natural disasters
