Question Answered step-by-step PostIdentify the disaster and resulting population health issue. a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:  Describe the epidemiological considerations resulting from this disaster. Support your response with specific examples and evidence from the literature.  Describe the factors that made the community’s and/or nation’s response effective or ineffective. On September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks created a grave disaster that included the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York. The day after 9/11, epidemiologists were asked to assess the environment around Ground Zero for potential hazards that might put those engaged in rescue and recovery at risk of harm. Beside the dust, what toxins might be in the air? Was the air quality safe or should rescue workers wear canister respirators or particle masks? What other protections might be necessary in the days following the disaster? Look at the impact of a disaster through the lens of an epidemiologist, addressing such questions as, “What epidemiological considerations arise in the wake of a disaster? And, what makes disaster planning or emergency preparedness effective in terms of mitigating or preventing negative aftereffects?”   Nash, D. B., Skoufalos, A., Fabius, R. J. & Oglesby, W.
