PSYCHOSOCIAL RESPONSES TO DISASTERS
In this second decade of the 21st century we have seen unprecedented floods in Australia, South Africa, the Philippines, and Brazil; Japan suffering the effects of a major earthquake, tsunami and radiation; earthquakes in New Zealand, Chile and Turkey; and massive wildfires and widespread tornadoes in the USA. Also precipitating loss of life and widespread damage, the fires of unrest and protest that have erupted across the Middle East, from Yemen to Bahrain, to Egypt and Libya, hundreds of thousands of citizens have taken to the streets, voicing their opposition to long held regimes who have tried to quell the rising chorus, at times with violence.  Click here for more information.
