Any event or situation that results in multiple casualties and/or deaths is called a mass casualty incident (MCI). An industrial accident with unplanned release of nuclear waste is classified as a technological disaster. A medical disaster is a catastrophic event that results in human casualties that overwhelm available health care resources.
