Please, circle the correct objective of Disaster Medicine (DM):
to protect, secure and assure human life, health and ability in case of disastrous events
to plan and manage medical activities in case of disasters
to extract, triage, treat and evacuate injured in case of disasters
to prevent health and life harm in case of disaster

Health hazard is:
probability within time period a particular event to occur with negative health consequences
hazard for which realisation, all required preconditions are available in the moment of assessment and in the time the realization seems to be imminent
event or status with potential to cause undesired consequences because of physical or psychological health damages
Health risk could be defined as:
probability within time period particular event to occur with negative health consequences
hazard for which realization, all required preconditions are available in the moment of assessment and in the time the realization seems to be imminent
Factor, which existence increases the particular hazard realization probability in certain circumstances is:
health hazard
health challenge
risk factor
Moderate is the level of risk when:
Hazard is identified. There is a probability hazard to inflict limited negative effects on health status. A few of required for the hazard realization risk factors are available to the moment of assessment.
Hazard is identified. There is a probability hazard to inflict health harm that could have impact on common society lifestyle. The great majority of required factors for hazards realization are available.
Hazard is identified, with potential to cause distinguished negative impact on population and society. Preventive measure implementation has limited possibilities through moderating factors' effects.
