The two systematic crises that I will discuss would be a human-made disaster and natural disaster. You have one that is only brought on my nature and one this brought on by man. These two crises have the ability to uproot families from their homes and totally change a person life. “Whether the disaster is natural or man made, the manner in which action is taken goes a long way to determine how people fair from the experience. In both instances, casualties should be treated immediately and the best way to meet this end is placing the necessary measures in place that counteract this.”(Disasterium 2015)
The major differences between these two crises are, “The extent of loss experienced is dependent on the vulnerability of the population. As such, this means that this can only occur in areas that are susceptible to vulnerability. On the other hand, man made disasters are influenced by humans and they are often as a result of negligence and human error among other factors.”(Disasterium 2015) Man made you see less casualties rather then the casualties that come from natural disasters.I believe that these two are different because a man made usually comes from stuff like house fires and stuff like that. When its man made it usually just affects those few in the home where a natural disaster can effect a whole population of people and displace entire communities in one sweep.
I believe the two intervention strategies that would work in these two situations would be impact assessment and triage assessment. Impact assessment can be used to assess all of those who have been injured and what needs to be done to help those in need. Triage assessment can help to determine the impact of the crisis on everyone involved. The differences between these two is that one helps you to assess what is happening while the other one helps you to figure out you action plan and how it will be used
