Epidemiology plays a crucial role in managing MCEs by:
Surveillance: Monitoring and collecting data on the incidence and prevalence of injuries and illnesses resulting from the event. Risk Assessment: Identifying and assessing risk factors that contribute to the severity and spread of the event. Preparedness Planning: Developing strategies and protocols to mitigate the impact of MCEs on public health. Response Coordination: Collaborating with healthcare providers, emergency responders, and government agencies to coordinate an effective response. Outbreak Investigation: Conducting investigations to identify the source and spread of infectious diseases during pandemics.
