The daily mobility in space is one of the fundamental characteristics of contemporary times and it has been presenting itself as an essential mark of the connection of people with the world, with resources and opportunities. However, the social inequalities expressed in the space are also reflected in the conditions of moving around the city, which become more difficult, especially for social groups in areas with occurrences of environmental disasters. In times of growing uncertainty and new risks, the relationship between mobility and immobility in these areas becomes even more complex. Through qualitative interviews, the exploratory objective of this article is to reflect and collect empirical elements about the daily mobility to the work of people living in areas that have experienced the occurrence of disasters in Campos dos Goytacazes (Brazil). In these times of uncertainty aggravated by the pandemic of the new coronavirus, they face the dilemma of the simultaneous need to stay at home and go out to work.
