Disasters are often categorized into different levels based on their scale, impact, and the resources required for response.

• Level 1 (Minor/Local Disaster): These are events that can be managed effectively by local emergency services and resources within the affected community. The impact is localized, and the community's capacity is not significantly overwhelmed.
• Level 2 (Major/Regional Disaster): These events exceed the capacity of local resources and require assistance from neighboring jurisdictions, regional authorities, or national agencies. The impact is more widespread, causing significant damage and disruption.
• Level 3 (Catastrophic/National/International Disaster): These are large-scale events that overwhelm the resources of an entire nation, necessitating extensive national and often international aid. They cause widespread devastation, severe loss of life, and long-term disruption to infrastructure and society.
