Abstract
INTRODUCTION. Disaster refers to an emergency caused by natural hazards or human-induced actions that
results in a significant change in circumstances over a relatively short time period. Typical
examples are death, displacement, disease, and loss of crops. Others may include damage to
physical infrastructure, depletion of natural and social capitals, institutional weakening and a
general disruption of economic and social activity. Disasters may differ somewhat in the
trigger, scope, duration and requisite actions (Coletta, 2004, Olorunfemi and Raheem, 2007).
