Reviewing of published studies on Health risk manage-ment in Emergency and Disaster

The need for comprehensive and more serious management of disasters and, consequently, theneed for knowledge and how to use it in order to reduce the risk of disasters has increased. The importanceof this issue is such that in 2016, the World Health Organization launched a research network related to healthrisk management in disasters. Accordingly, this study was conducted to review articles published in the fieldof health in emergency and disaster.

In this study, the narrative review method has been used. Theaccessible articles published in the field of health Risk Management (health EDRM) from 2000 to 2019 werereviewed. Databases including Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, Medline, Ma-giran and SID were used. 24 studies had the inclusion criteria that were selected and analyzed. Data analysiswas a qualitative content analysis in the form of components of health risk management in emergency and dis-asters.

Among the 24 studies reviewed, 21 articles were in English and 3 articles were in Persian. Inaddition, most of these studies were published in 2019. The articles were analyzed and reported in the formof components and functions of health risk management in emergency and disasters, published in 2019 by theWorld Health Organization.

Studies show that the focus of most studies is on policies, strategiesand legislation, planning and coordination, and less attention is paid to the components of risk communicationand health services. Also, there are many research gaps and it is suggested that more research be done with moreprecise guidance.
