N2  - A disaster is defined as an unforeseen event that causes great damage, destruction, and human suffering, which in turn overwhelms the response capacity of local communities, oftentimes necessitating external requests for assistance on a national or international level. Many investigators have explored the nature of, reasons for, and management of disasters; however, there exists a paucity of literature that details disaster from the victims' perspective. This article focuses on the cultural, ethical, and spiritual implications of natural disasters from the survivors' perspective.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
