7. Concept of Disaster
The occurrence of a
disaster depends on the
interplay between a
natural phenomenon
(that can turn into a
hazard) and vulnerability
of population exposed
(exposure and
vulnerability).

8. What is a DISASTER?
The United Nations International
Strategy for Disaster Reduction
(UNISDR, 2004) defines disaster
as “ a serious disruption of the
functioning of a community or a
society causing widespread
human, material, economic, or
environmental losses, which
exceed the ability of the affected
community or society to cope,
using its own resources”.
Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
Similarly, the World Health
Organization (WHO, 2002)
describes disaster as “ any
occurrence that causes damage,
ecological disruption, loss of
human life, deterioration of health
and health services, on a scale
sufficient to warrant an
extraordinary response from
outside the affected community or
area”
9. Types of Disasters
Natural disaster include earthquakes, floods, landslides, etc. On the other hand,
man-made disasters include war, bomb blasts and chemical leaks. The disasters
often differ in quantity of damage caused or in quality of the type of medical
consequences.
10. What is a DISASTER RISK?
Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
- Is the potential loss of life, injury or destroyed or damaged assets which
could occur to to a system, society or a community in a specific period of
time probabilistically as a function of hazard, exposure and vulnerability.
The magnitude of the disaster depends on:
1. The severity of the phenomenon;
2. The quantity of exposure of the elements at risk which includes lives and
properties;
3. Vulnerability level or quality of exposure
12. What is HAZARD?
Disaster Readiness and Risk Reduction
A hazard is a situation or
an occurrence with
capacity to bring damages
to lives, properties and
environment.
The United Nations International
Strategy for Disaster Reduction or
UNISDR 2004 defines hazard as “ A
potentially damaging physical event,
phenomenon or human activity that
may cause the loss of life or injury,
property damage, social and
economic disruption or
environmental degradation.
13. Nature and Effects of Disasters
Being aware of the of the nature of the hazards and what these can do to people
and other elements at risk is the first step in every effort to minimize the effects of
disasters.
Disaster often result from the failure to anticipate the timing and enormity of
natural hazards.
