About

This study examines the impact of natural disasters on child mortality, especially in rural and remote areas of Australia, and provides suggestive evidence of the potential mechanisms driving these effects, including lower Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and vaccination rates among children, along with an increased maternal mortality and disease incidence in low‐income countries due to disasters.
