“…Previous studies in Brazil show that more than 90% of natural disasters are associated with drought and prolonged dry spell; however, such studies only analyzed disaster data in the State of Ceará, located in the Northeast Region 18 . It is worth noting that primary health care has an important role in climatological disasters, since it is involved in all stages of management and assistance (prevention, preparation, response, mitigation, and recovery) 19 . This study shows that climatological Cad.…”

Disasters deeply impact the health of the affected population and the economy of a country. The health burden of disasters in Brazil is underestimated and more studies are needed to underpin policies and actions for disaster risk reduction. This study analyzes and describes disasters that occurred in Brazil from 2013 to 2021. The Integrated Disaster Information System (S2iD) was accessed to obtain demographic data, disaster data according to Brazilian Classification and Codification of Disasters (COBRADE), and health outcome data (number of dead, injured, sick, unsheltered, displaced, and missing individuals and other outcomes). Database preparation and analysis were performed in Tableau. In total, 98.62% (50,481) of the disasters registered in Brazil from 2013 to 2021 are natural, with a significant increase in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a biological disaster. This disaster group also caused the highest number of deaths (321,111), as well as injured (208,720) and sick (7,041,099) people. By analyzing data for each geographic region, we observed differences regarding disasters frequency and their health outcomes. In Brazil, climatological disasters are the most frequent (23,452 events) and occur mainly in the Northeast region. Geological disasters have the highest lethality, which are more common in the Southeast; however, the most common disasters in the South and Southeast are those of the meteorological and hydrological groups. Therefore, since the greatest health outcomes are associated with disasters predicted in time and space, public policies for the prevention and management of disasters can reduce the impacts of these events.

“…User-generated content is inevitable thus channels using reliable channels with message confirmation from trustworthy sources can promote protective health behaviours and serve as conduits for education 19. Communication with the community should be proactive and at a culturally and educationally level proportionate for the target population to prevent or reduce inappropriate results and reinforce beneficial behaviours 20…”

Priorities of primary care in disaster medicine

The role of primary care in a disaster has too often been poorly defined and poorly understood. Due to its relative low-cost adaptability and closeness to the community, primary care can treat across multiple medical domains. By interacting with stakeholders from international data collection, state health bodies and secondary care to community groups, primary care can generate effect. Minimal standards are defined by Sphere guidelines to work within international, national and local frameworks. Evolution of the understanding of primary care in disaster medicine has resulted in a greater emphasis on maintaining outputs. In a disaster, effect is maximised by using strong local and wider resiliency frameworks to enable adaptation to new inputs and outputs while continuing continuity of care while moving through the disaster cycle. This is a paper commissioned as a part of the Humanitarian and Disaster Relief Operations special issue of BMJ Military Health.

“…Ressalta ainda o autor que tudo isso pode ser algo muito difícil e solitário. Segundo Carneiro et al (2022), as mães que tem a oportunidade de conviver diariamente, conhecer, compartilhar experiencias e histórias semelhantes com outras mães, além do apoio emocional que ofertam umas às outras, conseguem enfrentar de forma mais otimista a internação do seu filho.…”
