Disaster events cause a range of mental and physical health effects. Nuclear exposures result in unique psychological responses by affected individuals and communities. Planning, preparation, response, and recovery are enhanced by a focus on population health management, integration of relevant community and cultural variables, and effective use of risk communication.
