Disaster management in the contemporary world increasingly involves chemical risks arising from industrialization, climate change, and technological dependence. While disaster studies have traditionally focused on engineering, administrative, and environmental approaches, the role of organic chemistry remains underexplored in interdisciplinary research. Organic chemistry, which studies carbon-based compounds, is very important in disaster management, but it is often overlooked. Many disasters like industrial fires, chemical spills, toxic gas leaks, and environmental pollution are linked to organic chemicals. At the same time, organic chemistry helps prevent and manage these disasters through safer chemicals, biodegradable materials, chemical sensors, protective equipment, and cleanup technologies. Managing chemical disasters requires not just science but also understanding people, communities, policies, and social systems. Organic chemistry helps in understanding the behaviour of chemical hazards, degradation of pollutants, development of remediation technologies, synthesis of materials for protective use, and design of biodegradable alternatives that reduce long-term ecological harm. This paper looks at how organic chemistry and social science work together to prevent, respond to, and recover from chemical disasters, showing that combining both makes disaster management more effective and fairer.</span></em></p> <p> </p>
