Taking the human needs into account according to their degree of urgency, the paper approached to natural disasters and disclosed the neural, structural and neurochemical underlying bases in the mechanisms of the indispensable cognitive tenacity called individual and collective human resilience. The evolution of this concept, the most important clinical manifestations and the behaviour to be adopted at the primary health care level was reviewed.
