Abstract

The article presents behaviour caused by events that bring chaos to the everyday lives of individuals and local rural communities. It emphasises the changes in the types of actions undertaken to help the victims of the disasters, as well as the cultural and social consequences of new forms of aid, unknown to the so-called traditional communities.

Keywords:

elementary disasters, local communities, strategies of coping with disasters, new forms of aid
