Background: Indonesia is one of the countries with a high risk of natural disasters with 20,380 events between 2020-2024. The high number of disasters that occur will have an impact on the high number of casualties that must be handled by medical personnel. Often what happens in the field is the limited number of medical personnel who handle victims, making the impression of poor service for the community and the lack of competence of medical personnel related to disaster management. Therefore, one of the efforts to improve the competence of medical personnel in disaster emergency response is through Tabletop Disaster Exercise (TDE) training. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the TDE method to improve the competence of medical personnel in disaster management. Methods: The method used was a literature review taken from several sources with a limit of 2018- 2024. Results and Discussion: The implementation of training with the TDE method is proven to increase knowledge and competence in disaster management. This is because TDE has several advantages, namely, real scenario-based simulation, a stress-free training environment, and the development of coordination between teams. Conclusion: TDE is one of the effective disaster management training methods to improve the competence of medical personnel in disaster management.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia, a country experiencing severe drought, is highly susceptible towaterborne diseases, such as typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi infection. Poorsanitation conditions and high water levels can exacerbate the drought situation and create aconducive environment for waterborne diseases. Understanding the risk factors associated withtyphoid fever in drought-prone areas is critical for effective intervention and management.Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with increased incidenceof typhoid fever in flood-prone areas.Method: This study used the literature review method bycollecting data from various sources published between 2018 and 2024, through the GoogleScholar and Mendeley platforms. The keywords used in the search were “flood,” “typhoidfever,” and “risk factors. ”Results and Discussion: The analysis revealed that poor sanitaryconditions and high levels of air pollution are the main risks contributing to typhoid disease.Unhealthy environments and inadequate public access in remote areas increase the risk oftransmission. Education on personal hygiene and health awareness is essential to preventtyphoid disease, especially in areas with minimal health infrastructure.Conclusion: he mainrisk factors for typhoid fever in flood-prone areas are poor sanitation and limited access toclean water. Community education efforts on hygiene and sanitation should be conducted toprevent a surge in typhoid fever cases and protect overall public health.
