  American Psychiatric Association   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Sadly, those least prepared to deal with disaster often suffer the most: the less developed an area is economically, the greater the number of deaths, injuries and amount of damage its population sustains in a disaster--especially in more densely populated areas.
In addition to natural disasters, people today are exposed to a wide range of other traumas: industrial accidents, airplane crashes, and acts of violence as well as more common traumatic events such as house fires, motor vehicle accidents, and physical assaults.
Aspects of the disaster or trauma which increase the likelihood of psychiatric distress include a lack of warning about the event, injury during the trauma, death of a loved one, exposure to the grotesque (e.g., maimed bodies), darkness, experiencing the trauma alone, torture, and the possibility of recurrence.
