प्रश्न

When can a hazard become a disaster?

टीपा लिहा

उत्तर

A hazard becomes a disaster when either there are no mitigating circumstances to prevent the disaster from happening or the mitigating circumstances fail. For example, if there are floods that lead to the great loss of life and property, it will be called a disaster. But if through GPS, it was pre-informed and evacuation was successful, it will be a hazard but not a disaster.
