Disaster
It is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent

causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. It
can be defined as any tragic event stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods, catastrophic
accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that can cause damage to life and property and
destroy the economic, social and cultural life of people.
