Although exposure to natural disasters is known to place survivors at risk for behavioral and psychological
difficulties with victims varying considerably in their adaptation, research focusing on factors that promote their
adjustment and well-being is lacking. This qualitative study was conducted to investigate in-depth the role of
resilience, culture and coping strategies in female disaster survivors living in the shelters two years after the
Kashmir earthquake. The results of this study show that not only were women survivors as resilient as men but
they employed active coping strategies as well, moreover the role of faith, education, social support and
resilience in the adjustment after natural disasters has been discussed. It is suggested that interventions after
disaster should be based on indigenous cultural beliefs and practices and should focus on strengthening
prevailing community coping strategies as well as to educate the survivors to work towards small but possible
goals to attain a sense of control over their environment.
