Disasters can be analyzed from multiple perspectives, including physical, psychological, socio-cultural, economic, political, and environmental. The physical perspective looks at direct damage to infrastructure and property, while the psychological perspective examines mental health impacts like PTSD, emotional effects, and cognitive effects. Socio-cultural factors like age, gender, wealth, and beliefs also influence how disasters impact communities. Economically, disasters cause disruption to assets, production, employment and consumption. Politically, they can affect government services, and environmentally, disasters impact ecosystems and natural resources.
