disasters
Disasters are sudden, catastrophic events that cause significant damage and disruption to communities and the environment. They can be natural, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods, or human-made, like industrial accidents and terrorist attacks. Disasters often lead to loss of life, injury, and destruction of property, requiring emergency response and recovery efforts.
The impact of disasters can be long-lasting, affecting not only the immediate area but also surrounding regions and economies. Recovery may involve rebuilding infrastructure, providing medical care, and offering psychological support to those affected. Preparedness and response plans are essential to mitigate the effects of future disasters.
