The National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides health information during times of disaster.
The Disaster Information Management Research Center (DIMRC) has been created to aid the nation’s disaster management efforts. DIMRC is tasked with the effective collection, organization, and dissemination of health information for natural, accidental, or deliberate disasters.
See pages devoted to information about recent earthquakes in Chile and Haiti.
Also available from this site - "Earthquakes - Resources for Response and Recovery" links to background information on earthquakes and subsequent health issues, such as traumatic injuries, guidelines for responders, stress and coping, and sanitation issues.
