Certain sectors of society are more vulnerable to disasters due to factors such as socioeconomic status, access to resources, and geographic location. Low-income communities often lack adequate infrastructure, financial resources, and access to information, making it difficult for them to prepare for and recover from disasters. Additionally, marginalized groups may face systemic inequalities that exacerbate their vulnerability, such as limited mobility or inadequate healthcare. These disparities create a cycle of risk and resilience that disproportionately affects the most disadvantaged populations.

An event becomes a disaster when it overwhelms the affected community's ability to cope, leading to significant human, economic, or environmental losses. This transformation typically occurs when a hazard, such as a natural disaster (e.g., earthquake, flood), intersects with vulnerable populations or infrastructure, causing widespread disruption. The timing of this change can vary, depending on factors like preparedness, response capacity, and the severity of the event. Ultimately, it is the combination of the hazard's impact and the society's resilience that determines whether an event escalates into a disaster.
