DISASTER
DEFINITION OF THE TERM
‘DISASTER’
A disaster refers to an
event or series of events
that cause significant
damage, destruction, loss of
life, and disruption to the
normal functioning of a
community or society.
Disasters can be natural,
such as hurricanes,
earthquakes, floods,
wildfires, or they can be
human-made, including
industrial accidents,
terrorist attacks, or
technological failures.
The severity and impact of
a disaster can vary widely,
ranging from localized
incidents affecting a small
area or community to large-
scale catastrophes that
impact entire regions or
even countries. Disasters
can have profound social,
economic, and
environmental
consequences, often
requiring extensive
response and recovery
efforts to mitigate their
effects and help affected
communities rebuild and
recover.
The key characteristics of a
disaster include the
suddenness of the event, its
unexpected nature, and the
level of disruption it causes.
Disasters often overwhelm
local resources and
infrastructure, leading to
challenges in providing
emergency response,
medical care, shelter, food,
and clean water to affected
individuals. They can also
have long-term effects on
communities, including
psychological trauma,
economic setbacks, and
environmental damage.
