Abstract
The escalating frequency and intensity of natural disasters, such as hurricanes and flooding, are among the most significant impacts of climate change. These events pose serious threats to public health, especially to vulnerable populations such as pregnant women and infants. This article explores the relationship between climate-induced natural disasters and perinatal outcomes, focusing on the effects of hurricanes and flooding. Drawing on a range of studies, we examine how environmental disasters disrupt maternal and infant health, increase the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes, and exacerbate existing health disparities. The article also discusses the importance of climate change adaptation strategies and healthcare interventions to protect maternal and infant health in the face of a changing climate.
