Abstract: The author argues the need for a national strategy to assess and reduce disaster-related mortality in the U.S. Topics include an increase in the number of extreme weather disasters in the U.S., the tendency for the majority of U.S. disaster-related deaths to be a result of injury normally occurring near the first hour after injury before most disaster assistance is deployed, and the need for primary and secondary prevention measures.
