- 9. Types of Man Made Disaster • Nuclear Hazard • Biological Hazard • Chemical Hazard • Fire accidents • Travel accidents • Terrorism Epidemic Etc.
- 10. Nuclear Hazard It is a type of explosion deriving its force from nuclear reactions of fission and fusion. When this occurs, it is often as a result of intent and the end results are even more catastrophic with a large percentage of those involved losing their lives.

- 14. Precautions from nuclear accident • Common indicators of these disasters are vomiting , nausea , dizziness etc. • Don’t look at fire as it causes instant blindness. • Close all doors and windows as radioactivity doesn’t penetrate into solid structures. • Cover all food and water and listen govt. orders
- 15. Biological Hazard They are referred as poor man’s nuclear bomb as they are easy to manufacture, transport and have the ability to kill hundreds and thousands of people. Origin or conveyed by biological vectors, including exposure to pathogenic micro-organisms, toxins and bioactive substances that may cause loss of life, injury, illness or other health impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods. They are delivered using dusting airplanes or small perfumes atomizers. They have ability to generate immediate effects.
- 16. Types of Biological Hazard • Malaria, Dengue fever. • Meningitis, influenza. • Pest infestations. • Zoonoses - HIV, H5N1 virus (Bird flu), H1N1 (Swine Flu), the plague, Anthrax, Cholera, Leptospirosis. • Medical wastes - Used needles, medication that has expired etc.
- 17. Health workers killed chickens in a Hong Kong market in 2014 in an effort to stop the spread of H7N9 flu. It's being watched closely as a virus that might spark a pandemic outbreak. Nipah death toll rises to 16, but end of outbreak might be near June 5, 2018, southern Indian state of Kerala.
