For this reason, it is vital to be prepared for ODDs both before and after. It is imperative to produce solutions with a multidisciplinary approach to developing and dynamic ODDs. For this reason, a systematic approach is important before, during and after ODDs from a Public Health Specialist perspective. The leading ODDs that remain up to date in Türkiye are refugees and migrants who are victims of floods, earthquakes and wars in our country due to our geographical location. In addition to these, many natural and human-induced ODDs such as landslides, transportation accidents and fires are experienced. There is also an absolute need for adequate knowledge for successful intervention in ODDs. Our insufficient level of theoretical knowledge makes things difficult in the already complex disaster area, and even drags the whole operation into chaos.
