| Abstract: |
We
highlight the involvement of community health, public health and mental
health staff in the recovery period after a natural disaster (hailstorm
and ensuing wind and rain over three weeks) which, despite causing
relatively few deaths or severe injuries, affected 20,000 families and
caused damage estimated at $1.5 billion. Many families were given
information and advice, and 383 individuals were referred for health
assessment and management by doctors and other healthcare workers over an
eight-month recovery period.
