Man-made disasters are caused by technological or human-induced hazards such as fires, transport accidents, industrial incidents, terrorism, and nuclear explosions. Examples of specific man-made disasters include nuclear disasters, biological disasters, chemical disasters, fires, road accidents, terrorism, and epidemics. Nuclear disasters involve nuclear reactions that power atomic and hydrogen bombs. Chemical disasters result from the irresponsible handling and misuse of powerful chemicals in industries. Terrorism aims to terrorize people using violence and weapons without warning.

Man-made disasters are the consequence of technological or human hazards. Examples include stampedes, fires, transport accidents, industrial accidents, oil spills and nuclear explosions/radiation. War and deliberate attacks may also be put in this category. As with natural hazards, man-made hazards are events that have not happened, for instance terrorism. Man-made disasters are examples of specific cases where man-made hazards have become reality in an event.
Nuclear disasters Biological disasters Chemical disasters Fire accidents Road accidents Terrorism Epidemic Etc.
It is a type of explosion deriving its force from nuclear reactions of fission and fusion . It is of two types fission and fusion . Egs. Of fission are atomic bombs , A-bombs , fission bombs . Egs. Of fusion bombs are hydrogen bombs , H-bombs , fusion bombs etc.
These are referred as poor mans nuclear bomb as these are easy to manufacture , transport and have the ability to kill hundreds and thousands of people. They are delivered using dusting airplanes or small perfumes atomizers . They have ability to generate immediate effects.
Disasters that are caused by the excessive use and misuse of chemicals in industries are called chemical disasters . The irresponsible handling of powerful chemicals can cause widespread devastation.
Accidents that are caused due to fire are quite common . Fire results in heavy damage both in terms of life and property . Loss of life is high in a crowded building.
Travel accidents are quite common. An accident which involves a no. of people becomes a disaster. E.g. of these disasters are air crashes , train or vehicles collisions , capsizing of boats etc.
This is another type of disaster that results in loss of life and property. Terrorists use violence and strike without warning. They use bombs , guns etc. to terrorize people
Epidemic occurs when a disease attacks a large no of people at one time. It spreads at rapid rate among human population . Most of diseases are spread after natural disaster like tsunami , flood etc.
