Disaster and Emergency refers to events or situations that cause significant disruption, harm, or danger to life, property, and the environment, requiring immediate response and intervention. Disasters can be natural, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and wildfires, or human-made, such as industrial accidents, terrorist attacks, and technological failures. Emergencies are situations requiring urgent action to prevent loss of life, health, or property, and can occur on a smaller scale, such as medical emergencies or local incidents.
Both terms emphasize the need for preparedness, response strategies, and recovery efforts to mitigate impacts and ensure safety. Disaster and emergency management encompasses planning, coordination, and resources deployed to address these critical situations effectively, involving various stakeholders, including government agencies, NGOs, and communities.
