This study explored Bosnian refugees' attitudes and beliefs about how to cope with a potential natural disaster. A total of thirty-three Bosnian adult refugees participated in the study. Face-to-face, in-depth individual interviews were conducted. The findings indicated that Bosnian refugees developed a number of coping skills for survival and sustainability through their previous disaster experiences and emergency trainings. Their preparedness for a natural disaster can be characterized by strong leadership qualities, with more economic and social resources to draw on for coping, and close ties to local community. In case of an emergency, they would likely be calm, optimistic, and emotionally independent. Given the development of this group's coping skills, Bosnian refugees have a strong potential for serving as volunteers in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Particular attention should be paid, nevertheless, to these refugees' emotional and mental health needs in the aftermath of a natural disaster.
