Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are severe and extreme events caused by natural processes of the Earth that result in significant damage, destruction, and disruption to the environment, communities, and human activities. These events can take various forms, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and droughts. Natural disasters often lead to loss of life, injury, property damage, and can have long-lasting effects on affected areas. They can also strain emergency services and infrastructure, necessitating disaster response and recovery efforts. These events are typically unpredictable and can vary greatly in terms of their intensity and the scale of their impact. Understanding natural disasters involves recognizing the underlying natural processes, the risks they pose, and the importance of preparedness and resilience in communities.
