Terrorism, disease outbreaks, and other natural disasters and mass casualty events have pushed health care and public health systems to identify and refine emergency preparedness protocols for disaster response. Ethical guidance, alongside legal and medical frameworks, are increasingly common components of disaster response plans.

This exercise aimed to systematically review the prevalence and content of ethical guidance offered for disaster response, specifically around crisis standards of care (CSCs).
