Abstract
In recent years, severe disasters have occurred around the world, including Taiwan’s 9/21 Earthquake, the 9/11 terrorist attack in the USA, the SARS outbreak, the Asian Tsunami, Japan's 3/11 Earthquake, the Sichuan Earthquake, the 88 Taiwan Flood, and the spread of H7N9 bird flu in Hong Kong. These caused not only the deaths of many people and the destruction of vast amounts of property, but also severe post-traumatic stress from which full recovery often takes years. Taking the case of Typhoon Morakot, which hit Taiwan in August 8th of 2009, this case study used purposive sampling to focus on six surviving victims: three vocational high school students and three relatives, all of them volunteers. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect the information, and ATLAS ti5 was used as a research analysis tool. The study analyzed the ways in which the victims responded to and recovered from the disaster, their grief and the ways in which they dealt with it, as expressed by them in the interviews. It also looked at the practical effects of official or non-official consulting resources on the victims. The study’s results are expected to assist authorities in dealing with post-traumatic after such disasters.
