Disaster 097
Disaster 097 : 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. Comment: Disasters are often described as a result of the combination of a natural hazard, the conditions of vulnerability, and insufficient capacity or measures to reduce or cope with the potential negative consequences. A disaster also may be seen as an outcome of the "risk process", the interactions of the above three factors over time that lead to the development of disaster risks and the expression of that risk through disaster events.
