| Description: | This chapter does not propose a new or unique definition of disasters, but rather recounts efforts to define disasters by social scientists, particularly sociologists. This is accomplished in several phases. First, attention is given to issues associated with definitions, including clarifying the goal of defining disasters and the type of definition of interest. The task of presenting definitions from the literature is tackled next. Finally, the definitions are reviewed to assess levels of consensus and the presence of common themes. |
