6.1. INTRODUCTION
Sanitary-hygienic and anti-epidemic provision is the most important part of managing the health-related after-effects of emergency situations. The after-effects of various emergency situations may be:
► destruction of residential, public and industrial buildings;
► failure of various life support systems, water supply, sewage and municipal facilities;
► evacuation of large masses of people to safety;
► compromized immunity due to stress;
► failure or evacuation to a safe area of medical institutions found in the area of impact of damaging factors;
► a large number of human and animal dead bodies;
► growing rodent population;
► activation of natural zoonotic foci and emergence of epizootic diseases. In this regard, the epidemic situation in an emergency is deteriorating,
which can lead to epidemics.
Disease control in an emergency situation includes a set of organizational, legal, medical, hygienic and anti-epidemic measures aimed at preventing and eliminating infectious diseases, preserving the health of the population and maintaining its ability to work.
