Any event that can cause a significant disruption to emergency call and capability is called?

Chronic trauma disorder
Descriptive research
Richardson order
Disaster

The correct answer is: Disaster

The correct answer is disaster. This term specifically refers to any event that causes significant disruption to normal operations, including emergency services. In the context of emergency management, a disaster may involve natural events such as hurricanes or earthquakes, or human-made events like terrorist attacks or industrial accidents, all of which can overwhelm the usual emergency response capabilities and require special measures for effective management. Chronic trauma disorder relates to long-term psychological effects from trauma and does not pertain to an event causing disruption in emergency services. Descriptive research refers to a method of collecting data and does not involve events that disrupt operations. The Richardson order is not a recognized term in emergency management contexts regarding disruption and is therefore unrelated to the concept being addressed in the question.
