    Disaster, is an unexpected events with seriously destructive consequences.

    There are two types of


    disasters that can have affect environment Such as natural disaster and artificial disaster.Also every
    organization they need to have disaster management where by disaster management refers to the
    organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspect
    of emergencies in particular preparedness , response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of
    disaster.

    Natural disaster, refers to the type of disaster occurred naturally resulting from natural forces. The
    following are the example of natural disaster.

    Hurricane/Cyclone/Typhoon: These powerful storms can result in widespread destruction of


    ecosystems, coastal erosion, and contamination of water bodies due to storm surges also can cause
    high winds, heavy rainfall, , and flooding.

    Earthquake: Earthquakes occur when there is a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust, resulting
    in shaking of the ground. Earthquake can cause soil liquefaction, and disrupt water sources, leading to
    widespread destruction and contamination, damage to buildings, landslides, and tsunamis in coastal
    areas.

    Flood: Heavy rainfall ,coastal storms or overflow of water onto normally dry land can cause
    flooding.sometimes flood can be caused by melting snow and dam failures.flood leading to erosion, loss
    of vegetation, and contamination of water sources due to increased sediment and pollutants.Also can
    lead to property damage, infrastructure destruction and loss of llife.

    Volcanic eruptions: Volcanic eruptions occur when molten rock, volcanic ash, and gases are released
    from a volcano. They can cause ashfall, pyroclastic flows, lava flows, volcanic gases, and lahars (volcanic
    mudflows). The impact of volcanic eruptions depends on the intensity and type of eruption.

    Not only but also other type is artificial disaster or man_made disaster, refers to the type of disaster
    that caused by human influence. It includes;

    Drought: Prolonged periods of little to no rainfall can lead to soil degradation, desertification, and loss
    of vegetation, impacting agriculture, ecosystems, and water availability.in order to make absence of
    drought there is a need of giving education about reforestation.

    Chemical Spills: Accidents involving hazardous chemicals can contaminate soil, water, and air, leading
    to long-term damage to ecosystems and posing risks to human health.

    Vandalism: this refers to the action involving deliberate destruction of or damage to public or private
    property. In order to protect public and private property the organization needs to encourage ethical
    behaviors to there staff to avoid vandalism and theft .
    Technology related: such as a malfunction of hardware and/or software, viruses from damaged or
    corrupted computer files, electromagnetic interference.

    Therefore, those are the types and example of disaster we need knowledge and skills that helps to
    manage disaster in our environment in order to protect vital information, to prevent the event from
    occuring ,to secure business site and facilities ,to recover lost or damaged record or information after
    disaster ,to ensure safety of all employees and visitors ,as well as to reduce the risk of disaster caused by
