DESCRIPTION:The session focuses on the dilemmas of language in defining an
 d/or using the terminology of a disaster\, and the implications that this 
 may have on people’s understanding of causality and who is impacted by n
 atural hazard events. Questions explored by the speakers will include: who
  defines when a disaster becomes a disaster\, and does everyone impacted c
 onsider the event to be a disaster? Additionally\, why is there a need to 
 move away from the term ‘natural disasters’ and viewing disasters as o
 ne off-events?
