AI overview
A disaster is a serious event—such as an earthquake—that causes so much damage to people, buildings, economies, or the environment that the affected community cannot recover on its own and needs outside help. Disasters matter because they disrupt how communities and societies function, and their severity depends on how hazardous events interact with local conditions like exposure and vulnerability.
