Answer to Question 2

B
A disaster is defined as a catastrophic and/or destructive event that disrupts normal functioning; it may include any anticipated or unexpected event whose effects lead to significant destruction and/or adverse consequences. 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.
