“Hazard” and “disaster” are terms used for natural or environmental events that pose risks to human life, property, and the environment. A hazard has the potential to cause a disaster when it interacts with elements that are vulnerable to it. Hazards can be either natural, like earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions, or human-made, such as industrial accidents, chemical spills, and nuclear incidents. Hazards represent the potential for harm and exist independently of human presence or vulnerability. Understanding the scale and intensity of a hazard is crucial when discussing its impact on the ecosystem and the human environment. Another significant aspect is the frequency at which the hazard occurs. A disaster is defined by the measurable impacts that affect communities, ecosystems, or infrastructure. Hazards are unavoidable, but disasters that follow them can have a greater impact, as evidenced by the loss of human lives and destruction of property. Educating people about hazards and preparedness during disasters is necessary. Communities worldwide are facing significant challenges due to the increase in frequency and intensity of extreme hazards linked to climate change.
