Hazard is when something can lead to a crisis or something bad, but has not yet happened. (you might come across signs saying beware, hazardous site).
Disaster is when something bad has happened and is just a word that we use to describe the after effect of whatever took place.
Some peoples 'disasters' can be as minor as having a bad hair day to something like the world is going to end!!!!!
