Abstract
The paper offers a number of reflections about the first moments of a massive crisis �the first week, and the long term effects �between six month and a year. Most of the ideas stem from the author�s experience working in the Haiti, a crisis characterizes by being both endless and having a local administration unable of leadering the rehabilitation process of the country. It is assumed that the early phase of the intervention is intended to provide individual assistance to the victims� saving lives, and the long term intervention is more community oriented with the aim of restoring the basic functioning of the community which is assumed to be the best way of helping the individuals.
