The psychological consequences of disasters are known to be significant, but research efforts in developing countries have been sporadic.

It is recommended that these guidelines be adhered to for the development of similar projects elsewhere, to ensure a significant impact on advancing the field, policy-making, delivering appropriate mental health care, and training of providers
