Catastrophic Events
Catastrophic events are sudden, extreme incidents that cause significant damage, disruption, or loss of life. Examples include natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, as well as human-made events such as industrial accidents, terrorist attacks, or major infrastructure failures. These events often have far-reaching impacts, affecting communities, economies, and environments. Preparedness, understanding risks, and effective response plans are essential to mitigate their effects and support recovery efforts.
