Disasters occur on national and international stages as well as on local levels. It is
imperative that social work leaders are among those responsible for responding. Social
work practitioners bring a variety of skills based on our code of ethics to address both
natural and human-made crises and disasters. Consider the devastation caused by natural
disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, HurricaneMaria, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2010
earthquake in Haiti. Youmay also consider crises such as the global pandemic COVID-19
or school shootings. Local resources were insufficient for dealing with the overwhelming
needs of the area. Macro andmeta level responses were required. Consider how you as a
social work leader with skills and knowledge about crisis intervention and disaster relief
would have applied those resources to providemacro andmeta level relief services after
such large disasters and crises.
