Globalization involves the integration of economic, political, and cultural aspects of many countries and large enterprises around the world. Disaster studies examines how sudden events like natural hazards or conflicts impact communities by disrupting life and infrastructure, analyzing risks and vulnerabilities. The field has shifted from seeing disasters as acts of God to focusing on prevention and mitigation of impacts. While globalization allows faster sharing of ideas and technology for disaster response, it has also increased climate change and land degradation, raising disaster rates and vulnerabilities. International cooperation on disaster risk reduction through frameworks like the Hyogo Protocol are needed to effectively address global disasters.
