Dear Editor-in-Chief, Due to the nature of the measures needed to slow the pandemic of COVID-19, including prohibition of socially and/or culturally important events, such as weddings, funerals, and sporting events, etc., popular initiatives often arise during a disaster and in its recovery phase, especially in the absence of government assistance. Hurricane Katrina was a remarkable example of local and social capital where people evacuated and responded in the absence of government participation and action. In the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011, members of the community felt excluded from government interventions and took action. Thus, social COHESION is an important resource for disaster recovery programs and an important component in each of the prognostic, acute, post-injury and recovery stages while it provides opportunities in recovery planning to identify and eliminate inequalities and can support the needs of people in the community. . .
