The impact of disasters on communities
Disasters
Disasters are events where groups of people are affected by a life-threatening situation. Disasters can be man-made, such as building collapses and war, or natural, such as earthquakes and
landslides. The impact of disasters is greatest on communities in developing countries because they generally have few reserves and resources to begin with. Also, many developing countries have no planned strategies for dealing with disasters. As a result, when disasters occur, the poorest suffer the most.
The most important aspect of disaster relief is to provide for the basic needs of those affected, which include food, drinking water, shelter and emergency medical aid for injuries.
