title: Conducting research during disasters.
abstract: The potential for man-made or natural disasters is a reality that exists within the confines of the global setting. Man-made and/or natural disasters, although devastating to the human population, offers researchers the ability to explore and advance current preparedness, response, and recovery practices. When conducting research, consideration must be given to the ethical treatment of vulnerable populations and the protection of privacy for those affected by the disaster.
