According to UNISDR (United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction), a disaster is defined as a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
According to WHO, "A disaster is an event that causes damage, economic disruption, loss of human life and deterioration of human health and the health of societies on a scale sufficient to warrant an extraordinary response from outside the affected community or area."
