Preferred term

cycles of a disaster  

Definition(s)

  • Disaster cycles, also known as cycles of disaster or disaster management cycles, are theoretical frameworks that have been developed by disaster practitioners and researchers as they attempt to explain cyclical patterns and processes that disaster events follow. Although disasters are so often depicted as though they were exclusively subjects of history, experience shows that they are in fact recurrent events that will continue to confront human beings in the future.
