What is a Disaster?

A disaster is defined as a large-scale disruption, whether natural or man-made, that occurs over a short or extended period of time. Due to the frequency of natural catastrophes such as earthquakes, floods, and droughts, disaster management has become a hot topic in India. Natural disasters are caused by specific geo-climatic conditions, whereas man-made disasters are caused by a variety of socioeconomic vulnerabilities. Natural disasters include earthquakes, cyclones, cloudbursts, landslides, and other natural disasters, whereas man-made disasters include fires, air, road, railway, and industrial accidents, among other things. As a result, disaster management should be regarded as part of the IAS Exam preparation.
