Rongxing Guo, in Cross-Border Resource Management (Fourth Edition), 2021 Abstract
These challenges illustrate the need to link emergency disaster response efforts to long-term development projects to sustain recovery. This increases foreign aid dependency for low-income countries since they need additional funding for reconstruction and economic recovery efforts. Even though high-income countries have higher industrial damage when natural disasters occur, the proportion of losses in relation to the gross national product demonstrates a higher financial burden for low-income countries ( McDermott et al., 2011). In terms of health and economic losses, low-income countries are disproportionately affected by natural disasters. The high cost of natural disasters is attributed to their destruction of expensive and essential infrastructure (e.g., roads and buildings). From 2000 to 2009, natural disasters caused $891 billion in damage worldwide ( Kellet and Sparks, 2012). Natural disasters also cause a huge economic burden. Consequently, to respond to a natural disaster, public health workers have to treat injuries that require immediate medical attention while also implementing systems to prevent and reduce the spread of infectious diseases. There are many infectious diseases known to spread in such crowded environments including diarrheal diseases, measles, bacterial meningitis, acute respiratory diseases, malaria and dengue fever, and tetanus, among others. Such living conditions are ideal for the spread of infectious diseases increasing morbidity and mortality among the displaced populations. In the immediate aftermath of a disaster, majority of displaced populations live in temporary crowded shelters with little to no access to water and food especially during the first few days. In 2014, the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) estimated that 1 298 848 people were left homeless due to natural disasters. Displacement is quite common after major natural disasters due to increased homelessness. In the aftermaths of a natural disaster, these health issues are compounded by the damage done to health systems, water and sanitation infrastructure, and the displacement of communities affected.
Negative health impacts can be direct (e.g., injuries) or indirect (e.g., malnutrition and increase in infectious diseases). Natural disasters have a significant impact on the public health and well-being of populations affected.
