Answer:
A disaster is a serious problem occurring over a short or long 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
However, it has been found that disasters can be classified into three types: (1) natural; (2) man-made; and (3) hybrid (see Figure 1). Natural disasters are catastrophic events resulting from natural causes such as volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc., over which man has no control.
