Abstract：
Understanding the health effects of disasters is critical for effective preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. However, research is negatively impacted by both the limited availability of disaster data and the difficulty of identifying and utilizing disaster-specific and health data sources relevant to disaster research and management. In response to numerous requests from disaster researchers, emergency managers, and operational response organizations, 73 distinct data sources at the intersection of disasters and health were compiled and categorized. These data sources generally cover the entire United States, address both disasters and health, and are available to researchers at little or no cost. Data sources are described and characterized to support improved research and guide evidence-based decision making. Current gaps and potential solutions are presented to improve disaster data collection, utilization, and dissemination.
摘要：
了解灾害对健康的影响对于有效备灾至关重要，回应,recovery,和缓解。然而,灾害数据的有限可用性以及难以识别和利用与灾害研究和管理相关的特定灾害和健康数据源的负面影响。为了响应灾难研究人员的众多要求，应急管理人员,和运营响应组织，在灾害和健康的交汇处，对73个不同的数据源进行了汇编和分类。这些数据来源通常覆盖整个美国，解决灾害和健康问题，并且可以在很少或没有成本的情况下提供给研究人员。对数据源进行了描述和表征，以支持改进的研究并指导基于证据的决策。提出了当前的差距和潜在的解决方案，以改善灾难数据收集，利用率，和传播。
