A disaster is a serious problem occurring over a period of time that causes widespread human, material, economic or environmental loss which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Disasters are routinely divided into either natural disasters caused by natural hazards or ______ caused from anthropogenic hazards. However, in modern times, the divide between natural, human-made and human-accelerated disasters is difficult to draw.Examples of natural hazards include avalanches, flooding, cold waves and heat waves, droughts, earthquakes, cyclones, landslides, lightning, tsunamis, volcanic activity, wildfires, and winter precipitation. Examples of anthropogenic hazards include criminality, civil disorder, terrorism, war, industrial hazards, engineering hazards, power outages, ______, hazards caused by transportation, and environmental hazards. Developing countries suffer the greatest costs when a disaster hits – more th.

Study Notes
Disaster Preparedness and Response
- Ready.gov provides free preparedness materials that can be shipped directly to you at no cost.
- To prepare for disasters and emergencies, you can prepare a plan, build a kit, and stay informed.
Hazards and Disasters
- Disasters are serious problems that cause widespread human, material, economic or environmental loss, exceeding the affected community's ability to cope using its own resources.
- Disasters can be divided into natural disasters (caused by natural hazards) or anthropogenic disasters (caused by anthropogenic hazards).
- Natural hazards include avalanches, flooding, cold waves and heat waves, droughts, earthquakes, cyclones, landslides, lightning, tsunamis, volcanic activity, wildfires, and winter storms.
- Anthropogenic hazards include criminality, civil disorder, terrorism, war, industrial hazards, engineering hazards, power outages, and environmental hazards.
Vulnerable Communities
- Developing countries suffer the greatest costs when a disaster hits, given their limited resources and infrastructure.
