Abstract

This paper formulates a series of questions about the nature of human actionin the context of MSDs (MSD = multiple simultaneous un/natural disaster).Some questions are more important than others, and it is crucial to firstlyidentify the most significant ones that, if answered, would probably contribute to a more appropriate human action in the context of MSDs, namely,the clarity of actions. The paper attempts to highlight the importance of human action within MSDs and the philosophical (conceptual) questions thatcan contribute to such action. As for answering these questions, the paperonly provides directions for the answers, while eliminating the remainingoptions (using a previously described model of features of human actionsunder an MSD, i.e. AAR = Attention, Adaptation, Response). Its overall assumption is that individual human action is crucial for proper functioningunder MSDs. Firstly, the paper inquires what can be said about the subject,and then explores specific characteristics of human action within MSDs,and subsequently describes a possible elucidation of such action. Based onthe aforementioned points, the paper aims to express a moderate or slightlypessimistic stance regarding the description of proper human (civilian) action within MSDs and the endeavour to make such action more suitable forpossible challenges of future MSDs. This topic complements previous worksdealing with the philosophy of MSDs. Such approach to human action underMSDs has not been previously explored, neither in philosophy of action norin theory of disaster management, especially not in the context of MSDs.
