Before beginning this assignment, view the Riverbend City: Cultural Aspects of Disaster multimedia simulation, linked in u08s2 and in the Resources area.
Social work leaders are uniquely qualified to address the cultural issues that arise for groups of people impacted by a natural or human-made disaster. As culture often influences peoples’ responses to crises, someone in a leadership role must ensure that, to the extent possible, cultural beliefs and customs are respected in the disaster response and recovery phases. Every local community that has ever fell victim to a crisis or disaster was made up of individuals with either a shared culture or with a variety of cultures. While planning relief efforts, there must be a sensitivity to the various cultures in the community or locale impacted by the crisis or disaster.
