To answer that question, you need to know the definition of adisaster. According to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies(2021):“A disaster is a sudden, calamitous event that seriously disrupts the functioning of a communityor society and causes human, material, and economic or environmental losses that exceed thecommunity’s or society’s ability to cope using its own resources. Though often caused bynature, disasters can have human origins.” (Para. 1)Think about the elements of this definition. What is a community or a society? A communitycould mean a neighborhood, a workplace, a stadium, a city, a region, or what you define it to be.A community can be a permanent fixture or could be a temporary gathering or grouping ofpeople.The definition of a disaster event is just as variable. For example, disasters can include naturalor man-made events, and even a mix of both (think Hurricane Katrina, where the hurricane wasnatural, but the levee breach was man-made). Likewise, disasters can be acts of terrorism orwar and involve natural or man-made agents. More frequently, technology is a vector ofdisaster, with attacks on facility and government systems and power grids.
