Often results in the destruction of equilibrium in the environment. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/geological-disaster https://en.nhandan.vn/scitech/environment/item/7496202-raising-public-awareness-of-natural-disaster-preparedness.html Dr.Razia B, AMU<br>
slide4. Disaster- Definitions "any occurrence, that causes damage, ecological disruption, loss of human life, deterioration of health and health services, on a scale sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from outside the affected community or area”

Some Natural Disasters may be due to human intervention.
For eg. Landslides may be due to extensive agricultural activities and denudation of forests. Manmade disaster
On various occasions in history, our planet has witnessed some of the worst environmental disasters caused by human activities.
The disasters range from wars to nuclear explosions, chemical spill, toxic gas leaks, and oil spills.
The environmental consequences are adversely high and their impacts are felt for centuries Dr.Razia B, AMU<br>

A continuous process by which individuals, groups, and communities manage a hazard in an effort to either avoid or ameliorate the adverse impact of disasters resulting from the hazard.
Also involves preparing for disaster before it occurs.
