Keywords:
community participation, flood preparedness, community nurse’s roleAbstract
Floods are a commonly occurring disaster in Thailand and adversely affect the public, particularly in regards to the resulting health effects. Flood preparedness is the pre-disaster management that can reduce the impact on people. Adequate preparation can not be done by just one or a few people, though. Community participation is essential for preparedness at the community level and effective response by relevant agencies. Nurses are public health personnel play an important role in promoting the participation process of the community to reduce the impact resulting from floods.
