Preferred term

roads  

Definition

  • Natural disasters, particularly earthquakes, storms, and fires, often block or outright destroy roadways, which are needed to provide egress for relief workers. This prolongs the process of recovery (and consumes large amounts of equipment and labor resources). [Source: Encyclopedia of Disaster Relief; Roads]
