Disaster - a calamitous event, especially one occurring suddenly and causing great loss of life, damage, or hardship, such as a flood, airplane crash, business failure, EMP, Nuclear War or Climate Change.
The key words here are calamitous event, suddenly, great loss of life, damage, and hardship. When it is described this way, it becomes clear why we are interested in mitigating the hardship caused by the crisis.

- Natural
- Pandemic
- Man-made
- War/Terrorism/Crime
- Personal
