“…34 The involvement of academic institutions in order to increase disaster preparedness and response, and establishment of procedures is valuable. 51 The academic resources are typically enough for the purpose of developing or delivering education or conducting research. The operational capabilities of an academic institution in surge capacity, surveillance health system, research, ethics, and faith could be applied to disaster mitigation.…”

Objective:The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the community-based academic partnership roles in disaster risk management.Methods:The assessment of the documents was conducted by reviewing abstracts and full papers of the available studies, which provided considerable background and promoted knowledge in academic interventional roles in disaster risk management. The articles were searched with a wide range of key words related to the research topic. The studies included the research available between 2000 and September 2017 in the English language. The selection of articles was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist.Results:Of 997 articles, we selected 12 full-text articles that met the criteria for the final review based on the study objective. The results show that, although universities can play multidirectional roles in disaster risk management phases, the development of the academic partnership potential and collaboration for disaster risk management and disaster risk reduction for stakeholders is necessary.Conclusion:The universities’ potential in providing sufficient disaster health literacy is not currently considered important enough in communities.Therefore, the proper context-bound models of development based on a community’s skills and universities’ potential should receive more attention.

he report by Rosa et al on a Zika virus (ZIKV) disease response protocol is very interesting. 1 Rosa et al report on "the development and implementation of a protocol for the diagnosis and management of suspected cases of Zika virus infection in a large academic medical center." 1 In fact, having a good protocol is required and it must be based on updated knowledge. Vest noted that "understanding what is known about the virus and its clinical presentation will assist in prevention, detection, and response measures to reduce and control the spread of the virus." 2 "Educating workers, women of childbearing age, and others traveling in ZIKV-infected areas about prevention strategies" is the common suggestion. 3 For a medical center, the important topic is the occupational health of the medical personnel. Indeed, ZIKV infection is the big global public health issue with which present workplace health safety must be concerned. The possibility of ZIKV to be transmitted by uncommon methods must be kept in mind. This might be the future threat to medical personnel. Nevertheless, at present, prevention is the important topic for counteracting the problem. Of any method, the main prevention for ZIKV infection should be control of mosquitoes and prevention of mosquito bites. However, this is not included in the protocol of Rosa et al. 1 Mosquitoes are found worldwide in many places. Vector control is needed at working stations, but this is usually a forgotten issue in preparedness. 4 It is important to be concerned with infection control in any workplace, including hospitals with ZIKV-infected patients, but this may be overlooked. According to a recent survey, mosquito vector larvae are common in hospitals in endemic areas. Hospitals can be a forgotten risk place for transmission of ZIKV. 5
