Answer:

Hazard:

  • Hazard is a situation which poses a threat to life, health and environment.

  • Caused due to negligence.
  • They pose only a threat to life and property.
  • Hazards are natural or man-made phenomenon that are a feature of our planet and cannot be prevented.
  • Example: Living in Nepal is hazardous because it is prone to earthquakes.

Disaster:

  • Disaster is an event which disrupts the normal life style of people in a community. It brings on human, ecological and environmental losses to the community. Which it cannot bear on its own.
  • Disasters occur in places with dense population.
  • Caused due to a result of abnormal behavior of nature, because of some conditions.
  • Once a hazard becomes active, it is termed as disaster.
  • Hazards become disasters when they cause widespread damage to life and property.
  • Example: A earthquake in Nepal is a disaster.
