Disaster risk is the potential for losses due to a disaster. A disaster is an event that is sudden and extreme such that it has high impact with possible cascading effects. Disaster risks can be mitigated with disaster resilience such as a fire resilient structure. It is also common to prepare for disasters with emergency services, supplies, safety equipment and infrastructure such as tsunami shelters. The following are illustrative examples of disaster risk.
