Disasters are situations in which, by nature, unknown where and when they will occur, society remains defenseless. During disasters and immediately after them, priority is given to the emergency needs of the disaster victims. These include food, shelter, decontamination, trauma care, antibiotics, or respiratory support, depending on the type of disaster. The health of the newborn is closely linked to the mother’s health. Stress caused by natural disasters increases the likelihood of premature birth, low birth weight and risky birth. Quality care must be provided during this process. Providing a clean environment and taking precautions against infections are basic care elements. The newborn who is removed from the earthquake area is first removed if there is dust, sand or foreign bodies in the mouth and nose. In emergency care; airline management, injury access, blood glucose control, nutrition and hydration, thermoregulation management are carried out. During medical intervention, triage is primarily applied. Newborns removed from the earthquake area should be given priority in emergency services in the triage. The baby born in the earthquake area should be transferred to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to protect against hypothermia. Before the transplant, the baby’s breathing, circulation, nutrition, fluid balance and thermoregulation should be ensured. For the care of the baby transferred to NICU, providing respiratory support, proper monitoring, initiating fluid support, providing enteral nutrition if possible, tracking of vital signs, stabilization with the follow-up received and removed should be ensured. The newborn needs to be vaccinated. This article was discussed in order to examine the management of the care of the newborn born or removed in the earthquake area in line with current information.
