Disaster & Emergency refer to situations that pose significant threats to life, property, and the environment, often requiring immediate response and intervention. A disaster is typically a sudden and adverse event such as a natural catastrophe (e.g., earthquake, flood, hurricane) or human-made incidents (e.g., industrial accidents, terrorist attacks) that disrupts normal functioning and causes widespread damage or suffering. An emergency, on the other hand, is a situation that requires urgent action to prevent harm or mitigate consequences, often characterized by an immediate need for assistance or resources. Both terms emphasize the importance of preparedness, response planning, and recovery efforts to manage the impacts on affected individuals, communities, and infrastructures. Effective disaster and emergency management involves assessing risks, establishing warning systems, coordinating responses among various agencies, and providing support to those in need.
