The literature review found a gap in the research given that there are no studies of the performance of the public health professionals for disaster management in local governments of Thailand. Therefore, research in systematic literature review was proposed to study the essential competencies. The research seeks to apply the concept of disaster management and identify the key elements of competencies. The results from this research can be used as a tool to generate data and public health competency surveys in local governments. This can be adopted as a development plan and provide appropriate policy support for health personnel working in local government in the future.
