ABSTRACT
This paper presents the concepts and terms used in disaster management. The material explains and categorizes different kinds of disasters. It discusses in detail what we mean by "disaster victim" and explains "relief system." Of particular importance is a discussion of the phases of natural disaster response: the preparatory phase, the warning phase, the emergency phase, the rehabilitation phase, and the reconstruction phase. Of equal importance are the comparable phases of refugee relief operations, the relationship of disasters to the development process, and the timing of disaster management activities.
