Concept information

Preferred term

community in disaster  

Definition(s)

  • When disaster strikes, not only are individuals traumatized but the entire community context and social system are affected. Critical incidents, whether natural disasters or man-made calamities, damage more than the sum of individual psyches that compose a community.
