Special circumstances are taken to mean conditions that are the result ofwar and war destruction, when social welfare Services have to be most mobile and flexible to satisfy new forms of social protection. A very special strategy that increases the degree of Service mobility is an approach based on organization and community development. The strate gy includes evaluation ofthe level ofjeopardy, some very typical logistical approaches that can encourage the processes ofcommunity organization in such circumstances. The aim ofsuch activities is to offer efficient help to groups, individual and their families. Finally, the author suggests an overall model of Service planningfor the displaced and refugees, going beyond the model oflocal organizing.
