This draft glossary gives a multi-disciplinary overview of disaster management. It is common that the same word has a different meaning in different professional setting. Where this is the case, the specific sectors of disaster management for which the terms are explained have been indicated as follows: (DM) general disaster management; (TD) technological disasters; (HS) human settlement; (ND) natural disasters, covering geology, hydrology and meteorology; (ER) emergency response, civil defence, fire fighting; (WF) wildfires. General terms that are not specific for a particular area of disaster management are given without such sector indication
