A disaster (from Latin meaning, "bad star") is the impact of a natural or man-made hazard that negatively affects society or environment. Disasters occur when hazards strikes in vulnerable areas. The word's roots is from astrology and imply that when the stars are in a bad position, a bad event is about to happen.
