Welcome to the Book of Disaster Medicine

This is your destination for free, open access information and educational content on disaster medicine.

We don’t often think about disasters until it is too late. As our world faces an increasing frequency of natural and human-made disasters, it is clear that the question has evolved from:

“What should I do if a disaster strikes?” to “What should I do when a disaster strikes?”

The Book of Disaster Medicine aims to provide you with what you need to know when dealing with any disaster. Our authors and editors aim to explore the vast trove of existing disaster medicine material and provide you with the high-quality, concise, engaging, and pertinent summaries that you need right now.

There are many great disaster medicine texts, training programs and fellowships out there. But we strongly believe that disasters are a team sport. In order for everyone to play their part optimally, disaster medicine knowledge should be free and unrestricted to all who seek it.
