That’s an amazing overview of Basics of Disaster 👍🏼

[@hhkhan2005]

There is also the concept of exposure, that is the presence of elements at risk, e.g. infrastructure, people etc. in hazardous region. The internal weaknesses of the element, e.g. weakness of buildings, is the vulnerability. So, disaster is a product of hazard, vulnerability, and exposure.
