'Disaster' is defined as a crisis situation causing wide spread damage which far exceeds

our ability to recover. Thus, by definition, there cannot be a perfect ideal system that

prevents damage, because then it would not be a disaster. It has to suffocate our ability to

recover. Only then it can be called as 'disaster'.

Disasters are not totally discrete events. Their possibility of occurrence, time, place and

severity of the strike can be reasonably and in some cases accurately predicted by

technological and scientific advances. It has been established there is a definite pattern in

their occurrences and hence we can to some extent reduce the impact of damage though

we cannot reduce the extent of damage itself
