Disaster and Crisis Scenarios and How they Impact Sanitation Services
Disasters are serious disruptions to the functioning of an affected population that exceed its capacity to cope using its own resources. Disasters can be caused by natural, human-made and technological hazards, as well as by various factors that influence the exposure and vulnerability of an affected population. Emergencies arise in a range of contexts and can be either acute and time-limited or chronic and protracted. They may lead to disrupted services, significant losses and damage inflicted upon communities and individuals, including the potential loss of life and livelihood assets, leaving the affected population unable to function normally without outside assistance.
