Epidemiological methods play a central role in disaster medicine by providing systematic tools to measure, analyze, and understand the patterns, causes, and consequences of disasters. Whether disasters are natural such as earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and pandemics, or man-made such as industrial accidents, chemical spills, wars, and terrorist attacks, epidemiology helps health professionals assess health risks, identify vulnerable populations, and develop evidence-based responses. These methods allow disaster managers to move beyond anecdotal observations and rely on scientific data to guide prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery activities. One of the fundamental epidemiological methods used in disaster medicine is descriptive epidemiology. This method focuses on describing the distribution of health events in terms of person, place, and time. During disasters, descriptive epidemiology helps identify who is affected, where the impact is concentrated, and how the health situation evolves over time. For example, after a flood, health teams may collect data on age, gender, and pre-existing illnesses of victims to identify high-risk groups. Mapping disease outbreaks in affected regions allows authorities to detect clusters of injuries or infections and allocate resources effectively. Time-trend analysis can reveal whether cases of diarrheal diseases or respiratory infections are increasing after displacement, enabling early intervention. Analytical epidemiology is another essential method used to investigate the causes and risk factors associated with disaster-related health problems. This approach involves comparing exposed and unexposed groups to determine the relationship between hazards and health outcomes. Case-control and cohort studies are commonly used analytical designs. In the context of industrial disasters, for instance, analytical studies can identify whether exposure to toxic chemicals is associated with increased respiratory diseases or cancers. Analytical methods help determine causal relationships, evaluate protective
