The capacities of workforces to ‘surge’ on demand: An unfolding disaster
Centre for Justice Briefing Papers, Vol.59, pp.1-4
2024
Abstract
The intensity, frequency and impacts resulting from natural disasters are increasing across the world (WHO, 2024). Natural disasters can be geological, hydrological, meteorological or climatological and include earthquakes, floods, landslides, extreme storms and droughts (WHO, 2017). A natural disaster may also be biological and include the emergence of new diseases as seen with COVID-19. Collectively, natural disasters have profound implications for social infrastructure such as health systems, including in wealthy countries like Australia, where future generations face increases in the severity and frequency of heatwaves, droughts, bushfires and floods that will place an unprecedented burden on an already eroded health and social service sector (Malatzky, 2024).
