CALAMITY AND DISASTER

PREPAREDNESSA disaster is an event, natural or manmade, sudden or

progressive, which impacts with such severity, that the affected

community has to respond by taking exceptional measures.

It is a serious disruption of the functioning of a society

causing widespread human, material, financial, and

environmental losses which exceed the ability of the society to

cope using its own resources.
