Answer 1

Answer:

A hazard is a situation where there is a threat to life, health, environment or property.

• A disaster is an event that completely disrupts the normal ways of a community. It brings on human, economical, and environmental losses to the community which the community cannot bear on its own.

• Hazards are natural or manmade phenomenon that are a feature of our planet and cannot be prevented. In their dormant state, hazards just pose a threat to life and property.

• These hazards are termed as disasters when they cause widespread destruction of property and human lives. Once a hazard becomes active and is no longer just a threat, it becomes a disaster.

• Both hazards and disasters are natural as well as manmade.

• We can prevent hazards becoming disasters if we learn to live in harmony with nature and take precautionary steps.

These are the difference between hazard and disaster.
