Disaster Management in Urban Health

Disaster management in urban health involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from emergencies that impact the health of city populations. This includes natural disasters like floods or earthquakes, as well as public health crises like disease outbreaks. Effective management ensures that health services remain functional, communities receive timely care, and vulnerabilities are addressed. Urban planners and health officials work together to create plans, improve infrastructure, and educate residents, aiming to minimize health risks and enhance resilience against future disasters, ultimately safeguarding the well-being of urban communities.
