Fifty (50) victims of a tornado have been brought to the Emergency Room. Would this event be classified as an emergency or a disaster?

Respuesta :

Answer:A disaster

Explanation:A disaster occur when there is a rapid and sudden disruptive environmental condition such as earthquake, tornados , volcanoes.

This has a major impact on the normal functioning of the society which affect people , structures or properties and cause economic and environmental losses beyond the recovery ability of the community.

50 patients or victims is not a normal or usual number that a hospital will receive normally at the same time but because this is a disaster it presents a situation that is even beyond the hospital to handle; a situation beyond available medical resources.
