Various ID emerge after the flood onset, and outbreaks may result due to the combined effect of several aggravating socio-economic factors and unfavorable environmental conditions. Because of the increased potential for outbreaks after flooding disasters, enhanced public health services and surveillance systems are necessary for the early detection of emerging diseases and outbreaks, and the targeted intervention for disease control.
