Disasters rarely get our attention until they’re already unfolding. As natural and human-made crises grow more frequent, the question has shifted from “What should I do if a disaster strikes?” to “What should I do when a disaster strikes?”
PPN has created the Disaster Medicine Handbook: A Quick Reference to make essential disaster knowledge accessible, practical, and easy to use. Disaster medicine concepts are simplified into short, easy-to-understand summaries that cover the most important information. Each short chapter stands on its own with links to additional resources to explore further.
Handbook Highlights
Clear, Straightforward Language
Content is written with clarity and accessibility in mind. In high-stress situations, dense academic text or jargon should never stand in the way of understanding.
Intuitive Design
Each topic is approached from a learner’s perspective. The handbook is intentionally crafted to support individuals newly entering the field of disaster medicine.
Expert-Reviewed Accuracy
All material undergoes review by subject matter experts to ensure accuracy and practical relevance. Explanations are designed to bridge the gap between complex technical knowledge and real-world application.
