摘要
背景:孙德尔本斯易受旋风和潮汐的影响,在1961-2020年期间经历了13次旋风,造成广泛的水媒和病媒疾病、伤害、死亡、作物和牲畜损失以及长期健康问题。目的:本研究调查了多用途气旋避难所对孙德尔本斯人口健康结果的影响,重点关注由这些自然灾害引起的易流行疾病。方法:该研究使用了来自卫生管理信息系统(HMIS)门户网站、印度人口普查、国际气候管理最佳跟踪档案(IBTracs)、灾害管理部和印度环境系统研究所(ESRI)的二次数据,以了解19个人口普查发展(CD)区块中环境、社会、人口、地理和经济因素与水和媒介传播疾病和气旋事件的关系。使用ArcGIS Pro v.2.8制作地图。进行了文献审查,以评估飓风避难所的有效性以及在处理和减轻灾后这些意外健康后果方面的潜在缺陷。SPSS数据分析采用卡方检验和学生t检验。研究发现,无论季节如何,孙达本斯地区CD区水传播疾病的患病率在气旋年明显高于非气旋年(t = 6.69)。与非气旋年相比,气旋年的病媒传播疾病患病率也显著较高(t = 2.55)。研究还发现,现有文献缺乏对避难所居民的经历、疾病和先前存在的健康问题的详细描述,特别是针对妇女、儿童和老年人等弱势群体的需求。结论:该研究突出了印度在飓风避难所撤离人员经历方面的研究差距,特别是对妇女、儿童、老人和病人等弱势群体的研究。未来的研究应侧重于对撤离人员的体验、材料创新和气旋避难所的气候适应性设计的初步研究。
Epidemic Dynamics Post-Cyclone and Tidal Surge Events in the Bay of Bengal Region.
Background: The Sundarbans, prone to cyclones and tidal surges, witnessed 13 cyclones (1961-2020), causing widespread water and vector-borne diseases, injuries, deaths, crop and livestock loss, and long-term health issues. Objectives: This study investigates the impact of multi-purpose cyclone shelters on the health outcomes of the Sundarbans population, focusing on epidemic-prone diseases caused by these natural disasters. Methods: The study used secondary data from the Health Management Information System (HMIS) portal, Census of India, International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTracs), Department of Disaster Management, and Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc (ESRI) India, to understand the association of environmental, social, demographic, geographic, and economic factors on water and vector-borne diseases and cyclonic events for 19 census development (CD) blocks. Maps were prepared using ArcGIS Pro v.2.8. A literature review was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of cyclone shelters and potential shortcomings in addressing and mitigating these unintended health outcomes post-disaster. Data analysis in SPSS used the chi-square test and Student's t-test. Findings: The study found that the prevalence of waterborne diseases across the CD blocks in Sundarbans was significantly higher in the cyclonic years compared to the non-cyclonic years (t = 6.69), regardless of the seasons. Prevalence of vector-borne diseases was also significantly higher in the cyclonic years compared to the non-cyclonic years (t = 2.55). It was also found that the existing literature lacks detailed accounts of shelter residents' experiences, illnesses, and pre-existing health issues, particularly addressing the needs of vulnerable populations like women, children, and the elderly. Conclusion: The study highlights gaps in India's research on evacuee experiences in cyclone shelters, particularly for vulnerable populations like women, children, and the elderly and sick. Future research should focus on primary studies focusing on evacuee experiences, material innovation, and climate-resilient design of cyclone shelters.
