Disaster Management

ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

A disaster is a serious disruption occurring over a short or long period, causing widespread human, material, economic, or environmental losses which exceed the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.

Disasters can be caused by natural hazards (like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes) or human-made hazards (like industrial accidents, wars, or technological failures). They often result in significant damage, loss of life, and long-term societal impact.
