abstract="OBJECTIVE: First, to review the principles and practice of disaster psychiatry, in light of recent global events. Second, to identify opportunities for research. <br><br>METHOD: A literature review of the MEDLINE database, UpToDate and the Cochrane  Library was conducted. Reference lists were also reviewed. <br><br>RESULTS: Psychiatrists  are well-positioned to contribute to positive outcomes at all stages of the disaster  response. These contributions derive from their roles as doctors, mental illness  specialists and clinical leaders. <br><br>CONCLUSION: A novel framework for the  psychiatrist's contributions was proposed. Specific knowledge of disaster psychiatry  may be worthwhile, and establishment of a public disaster psychiatry centre is  reasonable. Research should further examine the role of tele-psychiatry and pursue a  best practice for community and front-line employee psychological preparedness.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
