As members of the Association of Virgin Islands Psychologists, the authors recount their experiences as professionals and as individuals when violent hurricanes hit the U.S. Virgin Islands. They provide suggestions for individual and community-level interventions as well as potential collaborations with disaster relief agencies such as the American Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. They discuss unique concerns related to working in multicultural settings, rural service delivery, and research opportunities. Psychologists are encouraged to broaden their skills to include training in disaster intervention as global awareness of the need for disaster mental health increases
