Disaster, Remarks on 1
Disaster, Remarks on 1 :
"In summary, it can be determined that there is a problem of definition which affects the interpretation of vulnerability to disasters. Therefore, a list of important questions often cannot be answered clearly: When does a disaster begin? Who decides about shortcomings in the coping capacity of a society? When does the disaster end? What are the appropriate indicators for disasters? In addition, many definitions do not take differing vulnerabilities of population groups into account". (Feldbrügge and von Braun, 2002)
