Disaster medicine

Disaster medicine is when doctors, nurses and other medical professionals help people who have been in a big emergency or disaster, like a hurricane or an earthquake. Disaster medicine means that medical professionals help make sure that people who have been injured or hurt can get the medical care they need to get better and stay safe. People who specialize in disaster medicine work hard to save lives in crises and after disasters.
