Through a bibliographic review, this paper proposes the contextualization of emergency and catastrophe situations that cause crisis and traumas, highlighting the most suitable interventions for such cases.

In all of these situations, the person’s physical and/or emotional integrity is threatened. Crisis intervention is an aiding method recommended to help an individual and his/her family or group to face a traumatic event, easing negative effects, such as physical and psychological damages, enhancing the growth of new coping skills, as well as reinforcing life options and perspectives
