MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES IN EXTREME SITUATIONS: NATURAL DISASTERS, ENCLOSURE SITUATIONS

Abstract

The catastrophe is a natural (drought, flood, hurricane, earthquake) or human (with armed conflict, nuclear accident) event that acts as a trigger for a crisis. The disaster consists of the impact of that crisis and its human, social and economic consequences. A catastrophe triggers a disaster by acting on a pre-existing situation of vulnerability, when the affected community does not have the necessary capacities to execute the coping strategies with which to resist such a process.
