Abstract

With man interfering more and more on ecosystems, many are the risks generated for human and animal life. Therefore, there are many situations that demand attitudes and responsibilities by society, from the moment that the power over nature becomes more evident. It is clear the necessity of specializing knowledge about these situations, which has forced the development of the specialty “veterinary medicine of catastrophe”, as this action field is very different from the other veterinarian activities. The veterinary medicine of catastrophe can act in isolation or be parallel and complementary to others, carried out by medical organizations from other branches, civil, public, or non-governmental, and being able to articulate with any of them.
