acc
A man-made catastrophe is a disaster resulting from human actions,
negligence, or errors, involving a failure of a man-made system.
These disasters can include civil disorder, terrorism, war,
biological/chemical threats, cyber-attacks, industrial accidents, and
environmental incidents like oil spills or chemical explosions.
CIVIL
DISORDER
CIVIL DISORDER
Civil disorder is considered a man-made catastrophe because it involves
situations where law enforcement struggles to maintain public order or
tranquility due to disruptions within a community. These disturbances, also
known as civil unrest or social unrest, can lead to violence, destruction of
property, and other forms of chaos, civil disorder itself may not always
result in catastrophic levels of damage or loss of life, it falls under the
category of man-made disasters due to its potential to escalate into larger
crises that significantly impact society and require intervention to restore
order and safety.
TERRORISM
TERRORISM
Terrorism involves the use of force or violence against
persons or property in violation of the criminal laws of the
United States, with the aim of coercion, intimidation, or
ransom. Terrorist attacks can lead to widespread fear, loss of
life, and substantial damage to infrastructure, making them
relevant to discussions concerning man-made disasters
war
WAR

It involves armed conflicts between nations or groups, leading

to immense suffering, displacement of populations, and long-
lasting consequences for societies. The impact of war extends
beyond immediate casualties to include economic devastation,
infrastructure damage, and disruption of essential services like
healthcare and education.
BIOLOGICAL/CHEMICAL ATTACKS
• Biological threats involve the intentional release
of biological agents to cause illness or death in
humans, animals, or plants, while chemical
threats focus on toxic chemical agents used in
intentional attacks or major accidental releases
that pose acute hazards to public health, it can
be disseminated through such as air, food, or
water, making them challenging to detect and
potentially leading to delayed onset of illnesses.
 INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS
CHERNOBYL ACCIDENT
(April 26, 1986)
• These accidents often result from failures in
safety protocols, equipment malfunctions,
human errors, or negligence. Examples of
notable industrial accidents include the
Bhopal disaster in 1984, where a gas leak
killed thousands in India, and the Triangle
Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911, which led to
the deaths of nearly 150 workers in New
Yor. Such incidents highlight the devastating
consequences of industrial accidents
Recommendations to mitigate the widespread of the mentioned man-
made Catastrophes, the following are:
1.) Enforce Regulations:
• Ensure strict adherence to regulations concerning activities that could lead to disasters, such as tree removal, waste
disposal, and hazardous material handling

2.) Develop Long-Term Contingency Plans:

• Design comprehensive contingency plans to mitigate the effects of man-made disasters

3.) Educate the public:

• Provide clear instructions and education to the public on disaster response procedures, including evacuation
protocols and stay-at-home orders

4.) Conduct Risk Assessments:

• Perform thorough risk assessments before engaging in potentially hazardous activities or

experiments to identify and mitigate potential risks
5.) Locate Hazardous Facilities Safely:
• Place nuclear and chemical facilities away from densely populated areas to reduce the impact of potential disasters
6.) Establish Communication Plans:
• Implement clear communication strategies at local, national, and international levels, especially for incidents like
nuclear disasters that may have cross-border effects
7.) Monitor Hazardous Materials:
• Create policies for safe storage and monitoring of hazardous materials and chemicals to prevent disasters caused by
their mishandling
8.) Enhance Emergency Response Preparedness:
• Develop immediate response procedures for different hazards identified in risk assessments and coordinate
emergency plans with relevant authorities
9.) Train Personnel:
• Provide training for employees on emergency response procedures and ensure they are equipped to fulfill their roles
effectively during a disaster
10.) Collaborate Across Disciplines:
• Foster multidisciplinary collaboration among researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and community members to
implement effective mitigation programs
