The Delphi technique was performed in three steps, and mean calculation was used to analyze the data.Results: The minimum health management dataset of before, during, and after the disaster included 9 data classes and 84 data elements, 9 data classes and 45 data elements, and 6 data classes and 54 data elements, respectively.Conclusion: Disaster managers and policymakers can use the results of this study to collect and process the correct health information, which facilitates health management during the disasters.
