In 2021, the new NYU GPH Journal of Public Health Disasters was launched. It is a journal for graduate students with a special interest in the field of public health disasters. Here, outstanding course work, case study reports, student spotlight series, exemplar disaster plans and much more will be posted and shared with GPH and the broader community. We will also post podcasts, videos, and important disaster publications in order to broaden the dissemination of important disaster-related information. The journal will emphasize disaster preparedness and response for health care and public health organizations.
Additionally, because we hope our graduate students will go on to make important contributions to the field of public health disaster science and practice, we will post internships, jobs, and other opportunities for advancement.
We welcome suggestions and feedback and look forward to the launch of this exciting new journal.
