has been produced by the National Environmental Health Forum. It is a useful
resource and reference during a flood disaster, and defines the responsibilities
and roles of Environmental Health Practitioners in minimising the effects
of a flood disaster on public health. It is located on the enHealth
website (Available under headings: Human Environment Interface, Counter
Disaster Series).
