Supporting Recovery Efforts

• Clean air is vital for recovery workers‘ health after a disaster.
• Healthcare facilities need to prevent health complications during recovery.

Enhancing Resilience Against Future Disasters

• Air quality management strengthens disaster resilience.
• Hospitals should incorporate advanced air systems to prepare for emergencies.

Maintaining good air quality is a critical component of disaster preparedness, essential for protecting public health, ensuring safe environments, and supporting effective disaster response and recovery efforts. Both healthcare and non-healthcare facilities must prioritize air quality management to safeguard the health and well-being of all occupants, particularly during and after a disaster.
