WikiProject Disaster management encompasses articles related to the prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases of disasters. Its scope includes both natural hazards, such as earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires, and human-made events, including industrial accidents, infrastructure failures, armed conflict, and public health emergencies. The project also addresses the theoretical foundations of emergency management and disaster risk reduction, as well as the policies, institutions, and organizations involved at local, national, and international levels. Articles concerning major disaster events are included where the management, coordination, and systemic response are central aspects of coverage. The project seeks to promote consistency in terminology, improve article quality, and support comprehensive coverage of disaster management topics across Wikipedia.

The Old Pier, Spiekeroog (German: Alter Anleger) was a former landing pier on the East Frisian island of Spiekeroog, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It served as part of the island's historic ferry infrastructure and was connected to the village by the Spiekeroog island railway, including its earlier horse-drawn phase. After the opening of the modern harbour of Spiekeroog in 1981, the former landing place lost its transport function and became known as the “Old Pier”.
