QUÉ SIGNIFICA CALAMITIES EN INGLÉS

Desastre

Disaster

Un desastre es un peligro natural o provocado por el hombre que resulta en un evento de alcance sustancial que causa daños físicos significativos o destrucción, pérdida de vidas o cambios drásticos en el medio ambiente. Un desastre puede definirse ostensiblemente como cualquier acontecimiento trágico derivado de eventos como terremotos, inundaciones, accidentes catastróficos, incendios o explosiones. Es un fenómeno que puede causar daños a la vida y la propiedad y destruir la vida económica, social y cultural de las personas. En la academia contemporánea, los desastres son vistos como la consecuencia de un manejo inapropiado del riesgo. Estos riesgos son producto de una combinación de riesgos y vulnerabilidad. Los peligros que afectan a las zonas con baja vulnerabilidad nunca se convertirán en desastres, como ocurre en las regiones deshabitadas. Los países en desarrollo sufren los mayores costos cuando ocurre un desastre: más del 95% de todas las muertes causadas por desastres ocurren en países en desarrollo y las pérdidas por desastres naturales son 20 veces mayores en los países en desarrollo que en los países industrializados.

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 such as earthquakes, floods, catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that can cause damage to life and property and destroy the economic, social and cultural life of people. In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence of inappropriately managed risk. These risks are the product of a combination of both hazard/s and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in areas with low vulnerability will never become disasters, as is the case in uninhabited regions. Developing countries suffer the greatest costs when a disaster hits – more than 95 percent of all deaths caused by disasters occur in developing countries, and losses due to natural disasters are 20 times greater in developing countries than in industrialized countries.
