Natural disasters produce impacts on the lives of the population, in particular that portion which lies in situation of vulnerability. The present study aimed to discuss the contributions of psychology in relation to social and environmental vulnerability generated by natural disasters. This is a qualitative research using cases drawn from publications in digital media. First were investigated the types of natural disasters as well as the notion of social and environmental vulnerability. Then, was analyzed the case that became known as "Mega disaster of the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro", held in 2011. The analysis of public domain documents demonstrated that the processes of deterritorialization and creation of new territories happen through suffering and anguish, but also generate cooperation and connection processes. As a conclusion, noted that the professional of psychology is often called to intervene in this kind of situation, and carry out an exercise of analytical and political acceptance of the stricken populations.
