Authors

Abstract
Disasters
are unpredictable, speedy, immediate and threatening and hence are feared the
most. They can be natural and man-made. Some accidents happen because of a
clash between man's inventions and nature. Accidents that effect the masses
becomes disasters. The damage caused by disasters is often immeasurable and
varies with the geographical location and climate. Disaster management
initiatives may be undertaken in order to overcome the widespread loss caused
by disasters. Against this background, the present paper makes a modest attempt
to understand the term disaster with relation to the environment, get informed
about the causes and effects of some major natural and man-made disasters, and
know about disaster management.
