Abstract -- The main purpose of this study was to design and verify the disaster health response and social rehabilitation models of the disaster impact areas of the aboriginal villages. This study started in 2002 and will be finished in 2006. The main objective of the preliminary study was to investigate the current status, including policy, training and resources of community disaster response and social rehabilitation plans. We surveyed the social functions and the damage in five aboriginal villages that was stricken by natural disasters recently. Most of the data were collected from official documents and some of them by literature review. We also interviewed some community leaders and key persons of these villages. The consequences and damages of these disasters were analyzed. Results of this study revealed that the quantities and allocation of resources were not adequate for local demands in case of disasters. A training program, which consisted of basic disaster response concepts, basic life support, and light search and rescue skills, was mandatory in medical resources scarce communities. Furthermore, we developed a template for disaster data bank for aborigines. A disaster vulnerability assessment checklist was proposed for evaluating the risk in aboriginal communities. It is recommended that cultural-tailored strategies and policies should be implemented in aboriginal communities.
