Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are catastrophic events caused by natural processes of the Earth that result in significant damage, destruction, and disruption to communities and ecosystems. These events can include but are not limited to earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and droughts. Natural disasters can lead to loss of life, injury, property damage, and severe economic consequences. They can also disrupt infrastructure, displace populations, and create long-term impacts on the environment and public health. The severity and impact of a natural disaster often depend on various factors, including the magnitude of the event, the vulnerability of the affected area, and the preparedness and response measures in place.
