These events can result from natural phenomena, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, or they can stem from human actions, including industrial accidents, terrorist attacks, and nuclear incidents. Disasters often overwhelm the capacity of local and regional authorities to respond effectively, necessitating external assistance and emergency services.
