Catastrophe


If you suffered a huge loss due to a home fire, it would be a catastrophe to you. But, in insurance talk, a catastrophe hazard is a large loss because of the occurrence of a peril to which a large number of insured people are subject. An example would be widespread loss due to a hurricane or earthquake.
