Abstract

In this article we seek to present an overview of Brazilian scientific production on disasters in the beginning of this century based on a review of three data bases: (i) PhD Thesis and Master Dissertations; (ii) articles in Brazilian journals indexed in SciELO database; and (iii) articles indexed in Web of Science database which have Brazilian researchers among the authors. The results point out the main scientific areas, and PhD Thesis and Master Dissertations which have focused this subject. Our results also bring forward the published papers in national and international journals which are focused on disaster issue and have been produced by Brazilian authors. We also seek to debate some aspects related to the increase of Brazilian scientific production on disasters after 2008, and to point out possible trends on this field.
