Definition

  • A disaster is an unexpected event that goes beyond an affected area's capability to respond in terms of saving people's lives, protecting property, and sustaining social, environmental, financial, and political constancy of the affected area. Disasters are managed at the local and state levels by sharing the responsibility to protect people from disasters. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crisis Management; Disaster Declaration Officer]
