Definition Classification and Scoring of Disaster
Definition Classification and Scoring of Disaster : From a medical point of view, a disaster needs only two criteria: victims and a discrepancy between the number and treatment capacity. Disasters can then be classified utilizing various parameters; man-made versus God-made, the radius of the disaster site, the number of dead, the number of wounded, the average severity of the injuries sustained, the impact time, and the rescue time. By attributing 0, 1 or 2 to each of them, increasing with intensity, number or time a scale can be produced varying between 0 and 13, which is called the Disaster Severity Scale. See: Disaster
