  • Title: [Medical consequences of earthquakes and organization of their liquidation (Communication II)].
    Author: Goncharov SF, Lobanov GP, Lobanova EG.
    Journal: Voen Med Zh; 2001 Jan; 322(1):19-29, 92. PubMed ID: 11219922.
    Abstract:
    The main factor determining the size of sanitary losses (SL) and the share of injuries with different degree of severity is intensity of earthquake. At the same time dependence of SL structure on the types of populated area (including the peculiarities of their building) and the character of population allocation at the moment of earthquake is rather small. It allows to substantiate the common medical-and-evacuation indices of the casualties for the given intensity of earthquake. The normative indices given in the article are of reference significance and depending on concrete situation require closer definition.
