The findings highlight the distinctive role of Naturopaths and Herbalists in disaster response and recovery, including the unique contribution of these professions in addressing community healthcare needs. The development of suitable disaster protocols, including protocols for practitioner self-care, is an important next step in fostering a more responsive and sustainable approach to disaster response and recovery.
