Definition

  • A hazard is a dynamic phenomenon that threatens people and their possessions, assets, and activities with injury, damage, destruction, or curtailment. Broadly, there are four kinds of hazards: natural (e.g., floods, earthquakes), technological (e.g., transportation crashes, toxic spills), social (e.g., riots, crowd crushes), and intentional (e.g., acts of terrorism, hostage taking).
