A disaster is a natural or man-made (or technological) hazard that has come to fruition, resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic event with great loss stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods, catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions. It is a phenomenon that disasters can cause damage to life, property and destroy the economic, social and cultural life of people.
In contemporary academia, disasters are seen as the consequence of inappropriately managed risk. These risks are the product of a combination of both hazard/s and vulnerability. Hazards that strike in areas with low vulnerability will never become disasters, as is the case in uninhabited regions.
Developing countries suffer the greatest costs when a disaster hits – more than 95 percent of all deaths caused by disasters occur in developing countries, and losses due to natural disasters are 20 times greater (as a percentage of GDP) in developing countries than in industrialized countries.

Sparks The Rescue - Disaster
It's time again
To take it up with me my dear
I'm counting down your sins
This double standard lettering is getting
Way to thin to hold the weight of
The blinding lights and the masquerade us
The curtains up so settle in
The doors are locked
Let this show begin
You're standing right before me
And you're wondering in your clothes
You couldn't keep a secret
So this whole damn town knows
Please stick around
(Please stick around)
I'll tell you how
(Listen to his tale)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
You played your role
So convincingly the extras fell in love I'm told
They bought every line and every ticket sold
The villain looks way too much like me
I learned your lines in fury
Its easier to write me off when its your story
You're standing right before me
And you're shaking in the cold
You couldn't keep a secret
So you've got nothing to show
Please stick around
(Please stick around)
I'll tell you how
(Listen to his tale)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
I don't sleep well
(I don't sleep well)
You're broken bow
(Please stick around)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
I hope the chase is worth the loss
I hope he tastes as bad as I feel
Dropped your name from my vocabulary
At least 'til next year, At least 'til next year
This whole God damned town knows
This whole God damned town knows
Please stick around
(Please stick around)
I'll tell you how
(Listen to his tale)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
I don't sleep well
(I don't sleep well)
You're broken bow
(Please stick around)
You're a disaster
(Disaster)
You're a disaster
You were everything that I dreamed of.
I never thought I'd hear you say that you'd "fallen out of love."
I never said this would be easy and you said you'd understand.
Now you're giving up everything and it's just not fair.
This is a disaster that you're after.
You know this is killing me.
Yeah this is killing me.
"Maybe we just weren't meant to be."
I'd say that's probably the worst thing you could've said to me.
I've given everything that I had, and now I get nothing in return.
I guess heartbreak's a fire, and I got burned.
This is a disaster that your after.
You know this is killing me.
Leave this behind?
You know it's not that easy.
I'm being denied of everything I've ever wanted.
I know that you're leaving.
Just tell me that you'll come back.
I promise I won't let you down.
Baby, I've got some words for you
When you get up in the afternoon
But you're not at home
You're out there alone
So I've called to capture devices for spies with vices
Generals have fought for spies like you
Our lady with secrets written all over her body
But I've heard you lie
I've read your file
You knew to gather your life's work and shred it to pieces
Baby come on, baby come on, baby come on
Baby baby won't you come on
Baby come on, baby come on, baby come on
I think there's someone here to see you
You've got disaster on your mind
They see the secrets in your eyes
They've got disaster on their minds
If they were to find you on their side
I'm right here
I'm right here
please come fall in my arms again
I'll be here to catch you when you do
never mind all the never ending struggles
they only make me stronger
everytime all all the everlasting troubles come
I'm stronger than before
thank God for disaster
disaster and tears
thank God for my reasons
my reasons to fear
everytime that I've lost it all and death is calling me
I understand this is what saved my life again
wake up
wake up
it seems like now I've got nothing left
can you save me somehow with the rest
never mind all the never ending struggles
they only make me stronger
everytime all the everlasting troubles come
I'm stronger than before
thank God for disaster
disaster and tears
thank God for my reasons
my reasons to fear
everytime that I've lost it all and death is calling me
I understand this is what saved my life again
wake up
wake up
I'm right here
I'm right here
thank God for disaster
disaster and tears
thank God for my reasons
my reasons to fear
everytime that I've lost it all and death is calling me
If you need me I'll be out with the night.
If you need me I'll be up with the moon.
Watch me changing as you turn out the light.
Watch me changing as I leave your cocoon.
I'm like a ghost, a vampire in the mirror,
you're the leach thats waiting to feed.
Lord of the flies, you think that you are the leader.
Fix a pig and watch it bleed.
How can I change, when you're the disaster?
(Disaster, you fucking disaster)
How can I let go? I'm not holding on.
(Disaster, you fucking disaster)
Everytime I stand you pull me down, down.
How can I change, when you're the disaster?
(Disaster, you fucking disaster)
Because you need me like a throat needs a knife.
You're the cross, and I am Jesus Christ.
I am the corpse, you are the maggots inside me.
Now it's time to give up the fight.
Cut it out, get the abortion.
Cut it up, just feed my organs.
Shoot it up, cut through the bullshit.
Making love to her cadaver.
Like I said, I had to stab her.
My heart can't get much blacker.
How can I change, when you're the disaster?
(Disaster, you fucking disaster)
How can I let go? I'm not holding on.
(Disaster, you fucking disaster)
Everytime I stand you pull me down, down.
How can I change, when you're the disaster?
(Disaster, you fucking disaster)
Disaster. Call me all the things you wanna...
You think I don't know.
I'm a bastard, you got me started,
but what do I know?
Whoa...
How can I change, when you're the disaster?
(Disaster, you fucking disaster)
How can I let go? I'm not holding on.
(Disaster, you fucking disaster)
Everytime I stand you pull me down, down.
How can I change, when you're the disaster?
run around the corner you left the burner on
lots of houses here but yours is gone
burning through the windows burning
through the doors i don't wanna live
in a house no more you lost your home
and you lost your things all you've got
left are your memories you've lost your stuff
but you haven't lost your luck don't
Pray for me after all
I’ve nothing to lose
I’m standing in rain
In vain
So many days’ been passing by
With all my dreams I have to say good-bye
What a fool I let you go
Nobody found the end of winter time
But I’ll be there and waiting you reply
Morning dew fall on my toe
Wild horses on the road
I tried myself to go
Explode!
Pray for me after all
I’ve nothing to lose
I’m standing in rain
In vain
Pray for me after all
Nothing to lose
It’s almost refrain
Can I play with madness? Can I ride the lightening?
Flirting with disaster, I got my own course.
A little bit of violence, feeling something loco,
Make this thing go faster, I've got my own sense.
Go faster, go faster,
Go faster, you're flirting with disaster.
Go faster, go faster,
Disaster, you're flirting with disaster.
Taken to the limit, beaten to submission.
On my (own) two wheeled mission far away from home.
Riding the last highway, I'll lose you at the crossroads,
Burning in the desert, relined all the way.
Go faster, go faster,
Go faster, you're flirting with disaster.
Go faster, go faster,
Disaster, you're flirting with disaster.
Go faster, go faster,
Go faster, you're flirting with disaster.
Go faster, go faster,
Disaster, you're flirting with disaster.
Ducking the man's radar, passing through the station,
Don't smell no motorolas, I'm in no one's sight.
Gone since I remember, last to see the desert,
Well sister
I've been down
I've been up, once through
and it's high time
that I get mine
and I get out, it's true
Well it's all aboard this huge disaster
and I can't afford to move this faster
Oh, oh oh
Gonna get up
to that fast train
I can't wait out
the years
cuz I've cleaned up
and I'm starstruck
and it's all luck
from here
Well it's all aboard this huge disaster
and I can't afford to move this faster

Verse1:
This the aftermath of that big disaster in my life

But I be damn if I go down fa sho um taking all

Chorus:
It was a disaster but even though god brought me through.
Was unemployed, health problems, backstabbing, but it's okay
Everything happen for a reason and as long as I got god I got blessings um
Set up the mics, turn up the volume.
Everybody present, say "here" when I call you:
Schaffer? Yep. Beef? Hello.
Bought three movie tickets, got the front row.
Act I. Our plucky hero's home town:
Middle Americana, not a problem to be found.
A single dad of one son with a dog just trying his
best to make ends meet as a disaster scientist.
One day he stumbles upon some horrifying evidence.
Our hero decides, "I must inform the president."
"Even though you seem to know exactly what you talk
about,
I don't think at this point in the plot I am going to
hear you out.
But Washington's in fallout, can't return to my home.
There's flash floods, earthquakes. I pick up the red
phone.
You get this ragtag team made of washed out marines
and Dr. Jennie Marie, she studies weather extremes.
It's a disaster, it's a disaster
whenever you've got three nerd rappers.
Act II. Molten lava is chasing them around.
Big blue bolts of lightning spring up from underground.
But our hero and his team have some hope for a cure:
"If we can just get this crew into the center of the
earth,
we can install a nuclear device then detonate it.
My findings indicate that this will stave off
devastation."
"I might have given in to my pride (that is my sin)
but take this check and shake my hand, 'cause you
always trust a Whitesican."
"Sir, you won't regret it. Launch your finest
satellite.
Arm it with a laser canon aimed upon the blast site
to activate the nuke. But the clock is counting down.
We need to act fast as our time is running out."
Meanwhile: hurricanes, tidal waves, floods.
Sun flares cause it to seem to rain blood.
The President just got crushed by an asteroid.
And the plucky hero's son? "Run faster, boy!"
Last Act. Son makes it, dog doesn't.
Odds may be stacked against the team. They discuss it.
A last ditch effort hangs heavy on our hero's mind:
"Blowing up the planet is the only hope for humankind."
And to his leading lady, "There is something I must
say..."
"Hey, you and me can wait, I want to have another
yesterday.
Sources say the Kremlin can take us into orbit.
Go to space, fix the lasers. And the earth: we can
restore it."
"That's it! A crazy plan, but we have to try.
The time is nigh, gather up supplies, we must survive!"
They head out for Russia in a little rowboat,
get menaced by glaciers, almost bite it but don't.
At the last moment a decision to be made:
there's the love or the boy, only one can get saved.
If he thinks too long, whole globe is in peril.
If you don't shed a tear at the end your heart's
Read between my eyes
What do yo usee a vision of cries
Forces coming down, straight from above
The ending is very clear
Final Judgement day will come and rid
This world away
No turning back, nowhere to hide
This day is all you'll know
Melting skin the stench of blood
As you watch it seep into your skull
Melting skin the stench of blood
As you watch it seep into your skull
Look around and you will see
This is now your destiny
Look around and you will see
This is now reality
I am demon...
Face this world alone
Now you see what has become
I'm trying not to pretend that it wont happen again, and again like that
Never thought it would end, cuz you got up in my head, in my head like that
You made me happy baby, love is crazy, so amazing
But it's changing, rearranging
I don't think I can take anymore
Cuz the walls burned up and our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, now we're saying never
Feel the fire cuz it's all around and it's burning
For forever and always
We gotta let it go, be on our way
Live for another day, cuz it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fallin to the ground
No happy ever after, just disaster
I didn't want it this way, I only wanted to say
I loved you right
But now you walkin away, and leavin me here to stay
So foolish of me to wait for you to realize
All the things I gave you, made you, change you
Your dreams came true
When I met you, now forget you
Don't want anymore
Cuz the walls burned up and our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, now we're saying never
Feel the fire cuz it's all around and it's burning
For forever and always
We gotta let it go, be on our way
Live for another day, cuz it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fallin to the ground
No happy ever after, just disaster
You shot the bullet , you shot the bullet that killed me
Not feeling my heart beat, and I was dyin
I I've been through it, I I've been through the agony
And now my eyes are, dryin, tryin, no more cryin,
Lyin's just a game,
So disaster strikes and I'm all right
Cuz my loves on his way
Yeah
Burning for forever and always
Cuz the walls burned up and our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, now we're saying never
Feel the fire cuz it's all around and it's burning
For forever and always
We gotta let it go, be on our way
Live for another day, cuz it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fallin to the ground
No happy ever after, just disaster
The walls burned up and our love fell down
And it turned into whatever, now we're saying never
Feel the fire cuz it's all around and it's burning
For forever and always
We gotta let it go, be on our way
Live for another day, cuz it ain't the same, my baby
Watch it all fallin to the ground
No happy ever after, just disaster
Just disaster
Oh whoa! Burnin for forever and always
I was spending all my time falling in love
Should know better, but it's so much fun when I'm with you
And has a missing person supposed to hanging up at the bar
Cause I, I've got a girl
I think we're in love
But oh for how long
It's got disaster written all over
So don't nobody show her
Our horoscope headlined disaster
Written all over it
Oh you didn't no no you didn't
Did you pull out the wires make a man out of me
I'm trying to figure out if lifes worth living without you
Hope I never have to
The stars could align or explode in the sky
Oh disaster
Baby, you look so sexy so what do I do when
We get home from church and the baby
Is in her room sleeping or watching a movie
You get closer to me
Oh this has disaster written all over it
I'm trying to figure out if lifes worth living without you
Hope I never have to
The stars could align or explode in the sky
If I already know about all the things that would bring us down
Then I'd react a bit faster
I'm averting disaster one day at a time
Disaster, disaster, disaster, disaster.
Won't you pull out the wires make a man out of me
I'm trying to figure out if lifes worth living without you
Hope I never have to
It could be disaster if I don't even try
If I already know about all the things that would bring us down
Then I'd react a bit faster
I'm averting disaster one day at a time

Woke up this morning in front of the ol' corner store
And every time I put myself down I keep on coming back for more
Now the bells of the church are tolling for another deserving saint
While I'm strolling the streets with no place to go
But I ain't asking for anybodies thanks
I'm a fucked up boy in a fucked up world
You're never gonna see your life trough my eyes
And I'll never know my reflection in their mirrors of misdirection
Washing away in a see of fucking lies
I ain't a fucking saint
Ya think I'm a bum
In a world that fucking rejects you, they think they've already won
Now they kick you to the curb like you're some politician's bastard son
Now everyone's complaining 'bout the things I already know
But what I wanna know are your ears bleeding from the sounds that are coming
From the radio
How should I say
That I never wanted anything to change?
If I rearranged the pieces of
A broken down faith
Do you believe in me?
Because I'm not sure
I believe in anything, anymore
Pick up the pieces and make me understand
Why we can't move any faster?
Losing all demand, I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
What should I do when I never thought anything would come true?
The solution for the broken down abuse
I'm waiting for fading floor to let me fall on through
I'm getting closer to letting go, letting go of you
Pick up the pieces and make me understand
Why we can't move any faster?
We're losing all demand, I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
What you don't know will only make this worse
(I walked on the edge)
What you don't know will only make this worse
(I saw the edge of my future)
What you don't know will only make this worse
(We'll own, buy back by the past?)
What you don't know will only make this worse
Pick up the pieces and make me understand
Why we can't move any faster?
Losing all demand, I've broken all my plans
This year was a disaster
Pick up the pieces and make me understand
Why we can't move any faster?
Losing all demand, I've broken all my plans
16th and Broadway 3 the hard way
3 homeless street kids steal and drink all day
Wake up in the morning everything's alright
Me an sean steal and bomb all night
Whoa it was a disaster
Whoa now what were you after?
Yeah it was a tragedy
And that's why you were down
down with me yea yea
Homelessness, joblessness,
day to day, check to check
Walking down 21st, looking for the highlife
to sunset alley from daylight to twilight
Jumping off, getting lost
on the roof tops getting chased by cops
Doing what we had to do, fight to live
