Abstract
Provide a more effective medical response by emphasizing the management of acute exacerbations of chronic diseases in disasters. Disaster victims need treatment for their acute exacerbations of and ongoing chronic medical conditions, medication refills, mental health resources, and have an expectation that medical facilities will provide resources beyond medical care. Medical response is more efficient, cost effective, and effectual when these considerations are supported.
期刊介绍：
With the publication of the American Journal of Disaster Medicine, for the first time, comes real guidance in this new medical specialty from the country"s foremost experts in areas most physicians and medical professionals have never seen…a deadly cocktail of catastrophic events like blast wounds and post explosion injuries, biological weapons contamination and mass physical and psychological trauma that comes in the wake of natural disasters and disease outbreak. The journal has one goal: to provide physicians and medical professionals the essential informational tools they need as they seek to combine emergency medical and trauma skills with crisis management and new forms of triage.
