What is disaster management? The United Nations defines a disaster as a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society. Disasters involve widespread human, material, economic or environmental impacts, which exceed the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources.
Well, a disaster can be a natural occurrence (i.e. a fire, a hurricane, a tornado, etc.) Or a disaster can be man-made. Consider a terrorist attack or shooting, they are man-made disasters.Essentially, a disaster is defined as, âan event causing widespread destruction.â What makes âdisastersâ so âdisastrousâ is the fact that these occurrences can come with days of prior warning or can happen without any warning at all. Considerations outside of the Hospital: Home health agencies also need to have a disaster plan in place. 2  There should be an outline of the location for shelters that provide temporary care. 3  But, the patients acuity also needs to be considered in such an event-agencies need to know how to prioritize care.
