Disasters are sudden, catastrophic events that cause significant disruption and damage to the environment, people, infrastructure, and economies. They can be natural, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, or human-made, including industrial accidents, terrorist attacks, and chemical spills.
