This book includes a series of first hand accounts by social welfare staff who have found themselves caught up in disasters and their aftermath. It tackles issues such as the degree to which disasters can be planned for, inter-agency co-ordination and co-operation, crisis management, medium and long term support for victims and care of the 'carers'. The book aims to help social welfare staff be prepared to face such situations themselves.
