Difination:-
Disaster is a natural (earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis,
floods, droughts ,fires e.t.c)or man-made (war, terror
attack,fires,killing animal,deforestaton ,transmit deseases
e.t.c)phenomenon that directly or indirectly affects living organism
or its requirement and damage economy or property .resulting
changes to human life style, societies, ecosystems and
environment...
Disasters are highly disruptive events that cause suffering,
deprivation, hardship, injury and even death, as a result of direct
injury, disease, the interruption of commerce and business, and the
partial or total destruction of critical infrastructure such as homes,
hospitals, and other buildings, roads, bridges, power lines, etc.
Disasters can be caused by naturally occurring events, such as
earthquakes, hurricanes, flooding, or tornadoes, or they can be due to
man-made events, either accidental (such as an accidental toxic spill
or nuclear power plant event), or deliberately caused (such as various
terrorist bombings and poisonings).
Type of disaster:-
(1)Natural disaster.
(2)Artificial or man
made disaster. Natural disaster:-
Natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples are hurricanes,
floods,tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis,earthquake, storms,
pandemic disease and other geologic processes.
Classification of natural disaster:-
01) Geophysical natural disaster.
02) Hydrological natural disaster.
03) Metrological natural disaster.
04) Biological natural disaster.and
05) Cosmic catastrophes natural disaster.
Geophysical disaster:-
Geophysical disaster are disaster thats are brought about
by tectonic and seismic activity belongs to the Earth surface
in which any kind of geological disturbance can cause geophysical event like sacking and unstable ground. For example earthquake, volcanic eruption ,land Slide mould
flow e.t.c.

Hydrological disaster:-
-
Hydrological disaster is a violent sharp harmful amendment either
in quantity of Earth's water distribution of of water ashore
below the surface or in atmosphere.
if flood is a associated
overflow of associate expanse of water that submerge land.For example
Meteorological disaster:-
Meteorological disasters are caused by extreme weather, e.g. rain, drought, snow, extreme heat
or cold, ice, or wind. Violent, sudden and destructive to the environment
related to, produced by, or affecting the earth's atmosphere, especially the
weather-forming processes.
Biological disasters:-
Biological disasters define the
devastating effects caused by an enormous spread of a certain kind of
living organism – that may the spread a disease, virus, or an
epidemic. Biological disasterscan also be simply, a sudden growth in the population of a certain kind
of plants or animals, e.g., a locust plague,corona virus e.t.c.
Cosmic catastrophes disasters:-
Cosmic catastrophes disaster are create by outer space suchas High energy solar
flare,Asteroid impact,Expanding sun,Nearby supernovas,Local gamma ray
burst,Moving stars e.t.c.which directly or indirectly affect our
earth.
Manmade or artificial disasters:-
Man-made disasters can include hazardous material spills, fires,
groundwater contamination, transportation accidents, structure
failures, mining accidents, explosions and acts of terrorism. There
are actions that we can take to prepare to react appropriately to
these events.
Certain types of natural disasters are more likely to occur in particular parts of the world. For instance, areas near coastline, lakes or rivers are more likely to experience flooding problems than are land-locked areas. However, most every place you could live is prone to one type of natural disaster or another. No place is absolutely safe from natural disaster. And, of course it goes without saying, that no place is safe from the threat of terrorism and other man-made disaster events.
It may be impossible to avoid disasters, but it isn't
impossible to plan ahead of time so as to minimize the impact
that any given disaster might have on you or your family's
health, safety and property. There are steps you can take
ahead of time, including,
-
purchasing the proper types of insurance, preparing a disaster
kit and supplies, making a disaster plan and rehearsing it
with your family, and staying informed so that you can do your
best to get out of the way of predictable dangerous
occurrences, that can help you, your family, and your property
stay as safe as possible.
Shi me! 2020 disasters se bhara hai...
