Is there is a Disaster genre?

Hello there! Recently, it stood out to me that a Disaster genre, which is a favorite one of some people, is absent in TMDB. I was just wondering whether I could add this genre by myself. If yes, can I kindly ask you to give me an ID of this genre, so I could add it on my web site. Thanks in advance!

FWIW, IMDb doesn't list it as a genre, and Wikipedia lists it only as a sub-genre under the "action" genre, which makes the most sense to me personally. Maybe it is more useful as a keyword instead of a genre, since TMDb is trying to keep the number of genres down to a manageable number.

Copy that! Thanks for the explanation!
