A Discrete-Event Simulation Model of Hospital Patient Flow Following Major Earthquakes
The Covid-19 pandemic challenge to the All-Hazards Approach for disaster planning
Top hazards approach – Rethinking the appropriateness of the All-Hazards approach in disaster risk management
Health Care Workers Deserve Better Protections From Coronavirus Disease 2019
It’s a grim reality. Included among the 232,000 deaths in the US attributable to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are more than 1336 physicians, nurses, environmental staff members, technicians, orderlies, emergency medical technicians, and other health care workers

Disaster Response 2.0
An editorial is presented which addresses the authors' views about disaster response management and the unmet medical needs of patients with noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in America as of 2018. The economic aspects of disasters such as Hurricane Katrina are examined, along with medications for the treatment of NCDs such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and asthma. The chronic illnesses that are associated with Hurricanes Maria and Irma are ass…
Impact of interventions and the incidence of ebola virus disease in Liberia—implications for future epidemics
To better understand the impact of national and global efforts to contain the Ebola virus disease epidemic of 2014–15 in Liberia, we provide a detailed timeline of the major interventions and relate them to the epidemic curve. In addition to personal experience in the response, we systematically reviewed situation reports from the Liberian government, UN, CDC, WHO, UNICEF, IFRC, USAID, and local and international news reports to create the timeli…
Measuring impact
We find that after adjusting for pre-tsunami conditions and tsunami-related damages, the impact of sectoral responses can be assessed. The duration of displacement was the strongest negative predictive factor for the attainment of durable solutions, suggesting that measures to reduce displacement time may be effective in mitigating the long-term effects of disaster on households. The durable solutions framework is a novel and effective impact mea…
Disaster preparedness and humanitarian response in flood and landslide-affected communities in Eastern Uganda
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to characterize and investigate relationships between disaster preparedness, impacts, and humanitarian response among Eastern Uganda populations affected by the 2010 landslides and floods. Design/methodology/approach – A stratified cluster survey of the disaster-affected populations was conducted five months after the onset of the disasters. Probability proportional to size sampling was used to sample 800 ho…
Faith-Based Organizations and Sustainable Sheltering Operations in Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina
Introduction: In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a significant number of faith-based organizations (FBOs) that were not a part of the formal National Response Plan (NRP) initiated and sustained sheltering operations. Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the sheltering opera-tions of FBOs, understand the decision-making process of FBO shelters, and identify the advantages and disadvantages of FBO shelters. Methods: Verbal inte…
