What’s the difference between Hazards vs. Disasters?

Hazards are natural processes that may [lead to] negative impacts on the economy, society, and ecology. “Hazards are the origins of disasters. Hazards are detrimental to the development of human beings and hinder the sustainability of the world (Shi, 2019).” Disasters are the results of hazards that threaten the normal functioning of lifelines and production lines of society. Disaster impacts include human losses, property losses, resources and environmental destruction, social and ecological damages (Shi, 2019).
