About

When disasters occur, the impact can be far-reaching, affecting survivors emotionally, physically, and financially. Disaster behavioral health (DBH) plays a crucial role in providing mental health, substance abuse, and stress management services to those affected. By integrating DBH into emergency management processes, communities can enhance preparedness, response efforts, and overall resilience. This ASPR TRACIE document offers valuable information and resources on select DBH programs, aiding emergency health care providers, management stakeholders, and survivors in coping with various incidents.
