Definición

  • Although hazards, disasters, and crises have been occurring for millennia, it has only been during the past half-century that society has become truly interested in assessing and understanding the multifaceted impacts associated with catastrophic events. The need to systematically track and account for disaster impacts had become the central focus of governing bodies across the globe, yet one centralized repository for all disaster losses has yet to be created.
