Defining disasters and their impact.
Man-made and Natural Disasters
Causes, vulnerability, and risk management
Vulnerability and risk management
A serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
Sudden onset, widespread impact, inability to cope.
Mitigation, Preparedness, Response, Recovery
Saving lives, reducing damage, and ensuring community resilience.
Caused by natural events (e.g., earthquakes, floods, hurricanes).
Caused by human actions (e.g., industrial accidents, fires).
Often involving both natural and man-made elements, with political instability.
Fire (Man-made) and Earthquake (Natural).
Short circuits, overloading, and faulty wiring.
Careless handling of flammable materials, unattended cooking.
Deliberate setting of fires.
Chemical leaks, explosions.
Densely populated areas increase the risk of fire spread and casualties.
Absence of fire alarms, extinguishers, and escape routes.
Use of flammable materials in construction.
Difficulties in reaching affected areas quickly.
Training people on fire prevention and safety measures.
Enforcing strict fire safety standards in construction.
Installing fire alarms, sprinklers, and extinguishers.
Developing and practicing fire evacuation plans.
Location in areas prone to earthquakes.
Poorly constructed buildings are more susceptible to collapse.
