DMCC RECOMMENDED READING LIST Revised October 2011

The material is divided up according to the modules of the course syllabus and some items therefore appear in several places. Each module section has a list of General references which cover the topics in that module. In addition, specialist references for particular topics are listed separately References marked with an asterisk are the most important for the particular module or topic.
Some of the books listed are available at reduced cost from the following: Teaching Aids at Low Cost (TALC) http://www.talcuk.org/ Tropical Health Technology Many of the publications are available on-line. For example: WHO publications can generally be accessed via the WHO website. A number of MSF publications are also available on line Hyperlinks for many of the references are given in the text.

Disaster Risk Management for Health advocacy sheets http://www.hpa.org.uk/web/HPAwebFile/HPAweb_C/1296686244041 and http://www.who.int/hac/events/disaster_reduction_2011/en/ - list the Fact sheet development & partners. Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction - Overview (PDF, 1,008 KB) Development of national and community health emergency and disaster risk management systems with emphasis on primary prevention, vulnerability reduction and strengthening community, health facility, and health system resilience by reinforcing a community-centred primary health care approach. Chemical Safety (PDF, 46 KB) A chemical incident is the unexpected release of a substance that is (potentially) hazardous either to humans, other animals or the environment. Chemical releases arise from technological incidents, impact of natural hazards, and from conflict and terrorism. Child Health (PDF, 41 KB) Children, especially those under the age of five are particularly vulnerable to disaster. They are more likely to be injured, lost, unable to access help or health care, or exposed to greater danger through separation from their families or caregivers. In most disasters, between a third and a half of the dead are children. Climate Risk Management (PDF, 66 KB) Globally, the number of reported weather-related natural disasters is increasing. The last few decades have seen rapid growth in populations living in flood plains and coastal areas, particularly in cities in developing countries. Communicable Diseases (PDF, 28 KB) The last 2 decades have seen at least 1 billion people affected by natural disasters with millions suffering infection with communicable diseases. Communicable diseases can cause epidemics and pandemics which have the potential to overwhelm the capacity of communities; hence, they are also considered disasters. People with Disabilities and Older People (PDF, 543 KB) People with disabilities make up at least 10% of the population. Prevalence is increasing due to population ageing: over 40% of people 65 years and older experience chronic illness or disability that limits their daily activities. Disasters can also be a cause of disability - for example, if injuries are not effectively managed. Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (PDF, 180 KB) Mental disorders are prevalent in all regions of the world and major contributions to global morbidity and mortality. More than 10% of the global burden of disease, measured in disability-adjusted life years, is attributable to mental disorders. Non Communicable Diseases (PDF, 480 KB) Non-communicable diseases are a major cause of poverty, a barrier to economic development, and a neglected global emergency. 60% of all global deaths are as a result of NCDs, 80% of which occur in low to middle income countries.

Nutrition (PDF, 129 KB) Worldwide, almost one billion people are undernourished: 98% live in developing countries, 60% are women. Radiation Emergencies (PDF, 121 KB) Despite their low frequency, nuclear and radiological events generate high levels of public concern and political engagement at local, national and international levels. Safe Hospitals: Prepared for Emergencies and Disasters (PDF, 222 KB) Destruction of health facilities results in significant economic burdens. Failure of hospitals and emergency services during a disaster can greatly affect public morale and a community's social and health capital. Sexual and Reproductive Health (PDF, 31 KB) In any emergency situation, 1 in 5 women of childbearing age is likely to be pregnant. Countries in conflict or experiencing other forms of instability often experience the highest rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Water Sanitation and Hygiene (PDF, 387 KB) Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH) refers to the provision of safe water for drinking, washing and domestic activities, the safe removal of waste (toilets and waste disposal) and health promotion activities to encourage protective healthy behavioral practices amongst the affected population. Useful Definitions and Early Warning Information for Natural Hazards (PDF, 50 KB) These basic definitions are presented in order to promote a common understanding on the subject of natural hazards. -oOo-
