This volume presents and analyses unique empirical data from countries hit by floods, earthquakes, bio-infections (including COVID-19), technological catastrophes, migrations and mobilities, and other social effects, in order to provide a model of ethnological research on disasters of different types. Special attention is given to their role in the communities’ quality of life. The book introduces an analytical contribution to adequate policy for the prevention of disasters, response and liquidation of their consequences and restoring quality of life.
