Climate changes have become more frequent nowadays and some natural phenomena have been happening with more intensity. Every year, natural disasters occur and affect millions of people in the whole world, and Brazil is not immune to its effects. A natural disaster can happen at any moment and causes profound damages to societies. Working for minimizing the effects of natural disasters would be one of the suggestions of a case study about the floods that occur during summer in Santo Antonio de Pádua, a city located in the north west of Rio de Janeiro State. Logistics is crucial for the process of helping those affected. This work aims to show the importance of logistics for supporting the afflicted by natural disasters, be it working with humanitarian logistics in order to alleviate the suffering of victims, be it working with business logistics, acting in the operation to support the prevention of natural disasters and in the structuring of a more permeable society. To do so, a research was undertaken with the population of that city to understand the needs of a society that suffers with the constant floods. We will exam some of the scenarios as well as solutions proposed to support the work of logistics in order to minimizing the floods in the city. Eventually, two scenarios are presented: one in which the humanitarian logistics acts in the reconstruction of a city destroyed by a natural disaster and another in which the business logistics works in the provision of an infraestructure for prevention of a society that will be prepared to receive summer rains without major problems.
