87. Natural Disaster Crisis Management – paper by Tanya Szafranski

Crisis intervention in natural disasters is important to look at from many different angles. The points of view of those experiencing the disaster and those of relief workers should be considered when developing models and considerations for interventions and emotional care.

Other factors, including cultural context and faith, play an enormous role in implementing crisis interventions. This paper will compare and contrast some of these elements and models to examine how crisis interventions can be best handled now and in the future.

Crisis management after a natural disaster is critical. Going about it properly is key to the success of crisis aversion.

There are many elements to examine when looking at a natural disaster. These include:

  • disaster type
  • disaster zone environment
  • available resources
  • delivery of resources to the area in which the disaster occurred.
