disaster displacement

Disaster displacement refers to the movement of people forced to leave their homes due to sudden or gradual disasters, such as natural events like earthquakes, floods, or hurricanes. This can happen when areas become unsafe or uninhabitable, prompting individuals or families to seek safety elsewhere. Displaced persons may relocate temporarily or permanently, facing challenges like finding shelter, accessing resources, and rebuilding their lives. Disaster displacement highlights the intersection of environmental issues and humanitarian needs, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and support systems for affected communities.
