rev ve sorumlulukları kapsamında yeterli bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Toplumun genel yapısı ve sağlık durumu hakkında kapsamlı
bilgiye sahip olmaları, program planlama, toplumu değerlendirme ve grup dinamiklerinde uzman olmaları nedeniyle
halk sağlığı hemşireleri afet yönetiminde anahtar role sahiptir. Bu makalede halk sağlığı hemşireliği kavramı toplum
temelli alanlarda çalışan hemşireler için kullanılmıştır. Halk sağlığı hemşirelerinin afet yönetimine aktif katılabilmesi
