Abstract
It is customary to consider the disaster or a catastrophe as a phenomenon essentially tied to the vagaries of nature or as a byproduct of human activities. In both cases, it is approached through a perspective of emergency that rarely leaves room for interpretation on the functioning of social systems. Recently, the prevailing public opinion has begun to look at these events with different eyes. In the wake of scientific, political programs and social mobilization around climate change, people have begun to consider the natural disasters in terms of social effects that the change climate may cause. However, natural disasters are not just for social events that produce the effects on the dynamics and relationships of a company, but they are also social phenomena by their very definition, origin and scope. In other words, they are essentially social from the sociological perspective.
