inability to do preventive, mitigating, preparedness,
and response actions.
A serious disruption of the functioning of a
community or a society involving widespread
human, material, economic or environmental
losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of
the affected community or society to cope
using its own resources.

Disaster Risk Reduction
Disaster Management
A concept aimed at preventing new
disaster risk, reducing existing
disaster risk, and managing
residual risk, all of which
contribute to strengthening
resilience and therefore to the
achievement of sustainable
development.
The organization, planning and
application of measures preparing
for, responding to and recovering
from disasters.
Disaster management may not
completely avert or eliminate the
threats BUT reduce the impacts of
the disaster.
