    A disaster is an even that has happened, but a disaster risk is an event that has the potential to occur.

    If you live in a flood plain, there is risk for a disaster, but it might not have happened in a long time if at
    all. Living on an earthquake fault is a similar risk for a natural disaster, but it may be thousands of years
    between active movements on that fault.

    The fundamental difference between disaster and disaster risk ,is that, disaster A disaster is the sudden
    or any unfortunate event. To be precise a disaster is an event whose timing is unexpected and whose
    consequences are seriously destructive that can brought loss of lives, property loss, economic loss,
    environment loss etc. In a word, any loss that happened and occurred is a Disaster. While the disaster
    risk is the probability of a potential disaster. Where potential damage is the key elements of disaster
    risk. It may economic or environmental.

    I will share it with you in an easy way as You can understand easily.

    Disaster: When an unpleasant event already occurred and it has brought loss of lives, property loss,
    economic loss, environment loss etc.

    In words, when any loss occurs that is Disaster; most of the time life loss is counted as a disaster and
    tremendous loss of the environment.

    Disaster Risk: Disaster risk is the probability of a potential disaster. Where potential damage is the key
    elements of disaster risk. It may economic, environmental.

    Exposure is another component of disaster risk and refers to. that which is affected by natural disasters,
    such as people and property.
