Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are catastrophic events caused by natural processes of the Earth that result in significant disruption and damage to the environment, human life, and infrastructure. These events can include hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and droughts. Natural disasters can lead to loss of life, injuries, and displacement of populations, as well as extensive economic and ecological damage. They often occur suddenly and with little warning, making preparedness and response critical for communities affected by them. The severity of a natural disaster can be influenced by various factors, including geographic location, weather patterns, and human vulnerability.
