Calamity refers to a serious event that causes significant damage, distress, or suffering. It can occur due to natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, or hurricanes, or as a result of human actions, such as accidents or conflicts. The impact of a calamity can affect individuals, communities, and entire regions, often leading to loss of life and property. In response to calamities, emergency services and organizations like Red Cross often mobilize to provide aid and support. Preparedness and response plans are essential for minimizing the effects of such events, helping communities recover and rebuild after experiencing a calamity.
