Social and Psychological Support

Disaster Action

This guide has been written by members of Disaster Action, all of whom are survivors and bereaved people from disasters. Some of the disasters we have been affected by are the Zeebrugge ferry sinking, King’s Cross fire, Lockerbie air crash, Hillsborough football stadium crush, Marchioness riverboat sinking, Dunblane shootings, Southall and Ladbroke Grove train crashes, the 11th September attacks in the United States and the Bali bombing. The aim of this leaflet is to help those setting up their own support groups after disaster by sharing the lessons from our common experiences.
