Disasters not only have an impact on individuals. They "impact whole communities, resulting in potential community-wide economic, environmental, governmental, social and cultural disruptions" (Smith & Scaffa, 2014, p. 965). In the same way that performance patterns of individuals are interrupted by disaster, the roles and routines in the community are also are impacted. The roles and routines of community agencies, worksites, and places of worship must also adapt to address the challenges presented by disasters. The destruction of schools and worksites due to a disaster may make it challenging or impossible to participate in education and work-related occupations. Social participation and co-occupations with family, friends, and neighbors may be affected by widespread evacuations.
