उत्तर
Hazard means dangerous or risky natural phenomena that may lead to a disaster. Disaster is the incident that causes great damage and destruction of life, property and environment. For example, a cyclone near a coastline or the rising level of a river may be termed as a hazard because it could become a disaster for people living near it. A disaster usually causes death, injury, damage to infrastructure and property, loss of livelihood and environmental damage.
