Abstract

This paper explains the contribution of engineering and technical skills in safeguarding public health during humanitarian crisis caused due to natural calamities or man- made disasters such as armed conflicts. Humanitarian crisis is more complex in urban settings that put greater population at health risk due to epidemic disease breakout. Here we discussed the role of well-trained engineers who are specialist in water, sanitation, energy supply and environment. This book explains the link between water, sanitation and hygiene so called WASH activities that reduces mortality and morbidity in population during disasters.
