Abstract
During the past decades, it was developed a new subject of study which deals with the isssues of medical management of crisis situations – the new concept is the DISASTER MEDICINE. The fact that war is the ultimate disaster explains why military medicine has played an important role in the development of Disaster Medicine. On the other hand, correct solving daily emergencies can be seen as a form for medical staff training for intervention in special circumstances, from the collective accidents up to major disasters. In conclusion, it can be said that disaster medicine has its own identity, even if it draws on the attitudes and methods of emergency medicine and the military medicine. Keywords: Disaster Medicine, Military Medicine, Emergencies, Medical Emergencies, Hygiene and Public Health, Medical Management of Disasters
