Disaster social work is the practice of social work in natural disaster situations. Disaster social work is a field of work that specializes in strengthening communities along with the development issues. Social work practice in the context of disasters should be a process that includes the most vulnerable members of the community while strengthening local communities.

The term “liberalism,” from the Latin “liber” meaning “free,” referred originally to the philosophy of freedom.

Liberalism, attitude, philosophy, or movement that has as its basic concern the development of personal freedom and social progress. Liberalism and democracy are now usually thought to have common aims, but in the past many liberals considered democracy unhealthy because it encouraged mass participation in politics. Nevertheless, liberalism eventually became identified with movements to change the social order through the further extension of democracy. A distinction must therefore be made between liberalism, in which social change is conceived of as gradual, flexible, and adaptive, and radicalism, in which social change is seen as fundamental and based on new principles of authority.
