Emergencia

The term emergency is used to describe the crisis that arises when a community has great difficulty in coping with a disaster. Disasters can be either natural or induced by humans, can be slow or sudden onset and they result in a serious disruption of society, cause widespread human suffering and physical loss or damage, and stretch the community’s normal coping mechanisms to breaking point.
