"text": "Disasters come in many forms: shipwrecks, terrorist attacks, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanoes, epidemics, floods, famines, fires, and more. Some are natural disasters, while others are man-made. Some are even a combination of the two, where human error or negligence couples with worldly forces. It is unknown why the holiday is held on February 5—perhaps it is because Pompeii experienced an earthquake on the date in 62 CE. On Disaster Day, we remember some of the great disasters of history, in part to stop them from happening again.",
