A disaster can be defined as an occurrence causing widespread destruction and distress. Disaster management does not avert or eliminate the threats; instead, it focuses on creating plans to decrease the effect of disasters. Failure to create a plan could lead to damage to assets, human mortality, and lost revenue. Events covered by disaster management include acts of terrorism, fire, human caused disaster (like electrical fire, structural issues, industrial sabotage), natural disasters (like earthquakes, hurricanes, Tsunami, flood etc.), public disorder, and communication failures.
In order to avoid, or reduce significant losses to a business houses, emergency managers (preferably facility managers) should work to identify and anticipate potential risks, hopefully to reduce their probability of occurring. In the event that an emergency does occur, managers should have a plan prepared to mitigate the effects of that emergency, as well as to ensure Business Continuity of critical operations post-incident. It is essential for an organization to include procedures for determining whether an emergency situation has occurred and at what point an emergency management plan should be activated.
Disaster = Hazard + Vulnerability - Capacity
