Introduction

Natural disasters of disastrous events with atmospheric, geological and hydrological origin. They include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tsunamis, floods and droughts. Natural disasters can have a very fast or slow start, and serious welfare, municipal and economic impacts. Over the past two decades, natural disasters have killed millions of people that use the negative life of at least 1 billion more people and making a significant economic damage. Developing countries are disproportionately borrowed funds in connection with the demand of assets, infrastructure and disaster preparedness.

The commitment to use the infectious disease is often assumed very high in the mess that is being chased by natural disasters. The increase of endemic diseases and the risk of outbreaks, while dependent on many components that must be systematically considered from a comprehensive assessment of risk. This allows the prioritization of activities aimed at reducing the leverage of infectious diseases after natural disasters.

Communicable Diseases Working Group on Emergencies (CD-WGE) at WHO headquarters has developed this point to explain the danger of infectious disease among the population of borrowed funds as a result of natural disasters. He loved the paragraph describing the main estimates of anxiety, which are absolutely critical to reducing the leverage of communicable diseases following natural disasters, to help repel the welfare of disaster-affected population.



Assessment of risk of infectious diseases

Infectious diseases associated with natural disasters

Quick incident, a large number of corpses, victims of natural disaster areas could reinforce expectations of outbreaks, despite the small things, that the corpses of organizations do not include the risk of outbreaks following natural disasters(Qadri, 2005). On the contrary, the risk of outbreaks associated with the proportions being class and at home position of the community restored natural disasters. Displacement, insufficient water supply and sanitation, and poor gain access to welfare, often attributed to the rapid movement of the community, increase the risk of infectious disease transmission. Although the overall risk of outbreaks of communicable disease is less than is often glimpsed, the risk of transmission of some endemic and epidemic disease may increase following natural disasters(Sur, 2000).

Waterborne diseases

Outbreaks of diarrheal infections can lead to the following contamination of drinking water, and were told the following flooding and associated movements. The outbreak of diarrheal infections on the letters flooding in Bangladesh in 2004 provided more than 17,000 positions, with separation of Vibrio cholerae (O1 Ogawa and O1 Inaba) and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. Large (> 16 000 cases) outbreak of cholera (O1 Ogawa) in West Bengal in 1998 was caused by previous floods and floods in Mozambique in January-March 2000, administered to an increase in the incidence of diarrhea. The risk of diarrheal disease outbreaks following natural disasters is higher in developing than in developed countries.
