Catastrophe 25
Catastrophe 25 : "The group discussed the definition of catastrophe. After reviewing many variables, it was determined that a catastrophe is defined by the magnitude of the event on an area, the capacity and ability to respond, and the time to recover. Several stressed that catastrophes don't just happen to large numbers of people. A catastrophe can occur in a small area. It was discussed that having a clear definition of catastrophe determines the process of response". (NHSC, National Homeland Security Consortium Meeting, December 1-2, 2005)
