What is Epidemics After Natural Disasters: David M. Lemonick, MD, FAAEP, FACEP about?

This document discusses epidemics that can occur after natural disasters. It explains that epidemics are rare in developed countries but more common in developing areas due to lack of infrastructure and resources. Common infectious diseases seen after disasters include skin, respiratory, and diarrheal infections from pathogens endemic to the affected region. Disease transmission is driven more by population displacement and crowding than exposure to dead bodies.
