Types of Disaster
Disasters are mainly of 2 types,
Natural disasters. Example – earthquakes, floods, landslides, etc.
Man- made disasters. Example – war, bomb blasts, chemical leaks, etc.
The phases of all disasters, either natural or man-made, are the same. The disasters often differ in quantity of damage caused or in quality of the type of medical consequences. For example earthquakes cause a lot of physical injury and fractures, floods cause drowning deaths and infections, chemical leaks cause toxic manifestations, etc
Crises’ and ‘disasters’ are defined as abnormal and unique events that occur with some degree of surprise to demand unusual, extensive and taxing response effort. These events are, in fact, ‘turning points’ in the life of individuals, family units, organizations, businesses, communities (e.g., municipalities), and nations with a potential for affecting them in both the short and the long term. They are events, which, by their definition, overwhelm any one-response organization and demand a multi-organizational and multi-jurisdictional response.
