A “disaster” can be defined as
‘a calamitous event, especially one occurring suddenly and causing great loss of life, damage or hardship, caused by negligence, bad judgment, or the like, or by natural forces, as a hurricane or flood….the emphasis is on grief or sorrow caused…or the destruction or irreparable loss.
they often come with such inexplicable emotional force that triggers in man that innate human desperation or determination for survival against all adversities, natural or manmade
Environmental disaster as a subset of disasters is aptly defined as ‘a disaster to the natural environment due to human activity’, in an attempt to distinguish it from the category of natural disaster or act of God.
