"Tropical cyclones – also known as hurricanes, typhoons or storms, depending on
their location and intensity – are among the world’s most destructive and
costly climate disasters.
Their direct physical impacts, such as injuries and drowning, are well known.
But what about the wider health effects in the days and weeks after a cyclone?
As health systems are disrupted and other issues arise, what happens next?
We analysed 14.8 million deaths in 1,356 communities around the world that had
217 tropical cyclones between them.
In our paper published today in the
BMJ, we show what, and who, we should be
focusing on if we are to prevent more people dying after these devastating
events."
