In the past few decades, disasters, whether industrial or natural, have impacted more people due to population increases, including in areas prone to natural disasters such as forest fires, earthquakes, storms, and other threats. Disasters disrupt the normal patterns of life, typically occurring suddenly, unpredictably, and spreading widely. A disaster event has impacts on humans, including loss of life, injuries, causing difficulties, and affecting the health of the affected community. This study aims to describe the design of a public health disaster model that can be applied in one case of natural disaster in Indonesia, namely the earthquake disaster that occurred in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara in 2018. The results of this study explain that public health disasters reflect conceptual, ethical, and pragmatic intersections that have not been mapped between community health ethics and emerging discourses on disaster bioethics. This concept reflects public health issues accompanied by dangerous social consequences such as infectious disease outbreaks, public health impacts occurring during natural or human-made disasters, and public health issues that currently have low prevalence but have the potential to rapidly become pandemics.
