Hazard
A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment. Most hazards are dormant or potential, with only a theoretical risk of harm; however, once a hazard becomes "active", it can create an emergency situation. A hazardous situation that has come to pass is called an incident. Hazard and vulnerability interact together to create risk.
Hazards are sometimes classified into three modes:
Dormant - The situation has the potential to be hazardous, but no people, property, or environment is currently affected by this.
Armed - People, property, or environment are in potential harm's way.
Active - A harmful incident involving the hazard has actually occurred. Often this is referred to not as an "active hazard" but as an accident, emergency, incident, or disaster.
Hazards are generally of four types, physical hazards, chemical hazards, biological hazards and psychological hazards, radiation hazards.
There are many causes by which the hazard’s are caused:
Natural hazards include anything that is caused by a natural process, and can include obvious hazards such as volcanoes to smaller scale hazards such as loose rocks on a hillside.
Man-made hazards are created by humans, whether long-term or immediate. These include activity related hazardswhere cessation of the activity will negate the risk.
Deadly force or retribution it is that hazard involving any protective and responsive-ready threat of harm or punishment that becomes active in the event of a breach of security, or violation of a boundary or barrier intended to prevent unauthorized or unsafe access or entry or exposure to a situation, to something, or to someone.
Disaster
A disaster is a natural or man-made hazard resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic event stemming from events
