Disasters include natural events such as hurricanes, tsunamis, and tornadoes, as well as human caused events such as terrorism. Think about the types of environmental contamination that may occur during a disaster and subsequent possible exposures to the nearby population.
For this Assignment, your Instructor has provided you with a disaster scenario. Use the Disaster Scenario Worksheet (Word document) to complete the assignment. Use your knowledge of environmental health risks associated with disasters to complete the Assignment. Review the basic concepts of epidemiology. This will provide a framework for characterizing the population-level risks associated with exposures resulting from the disaster.
