Natural Disasters

Natural disasters are catastrophic events that occur as a result of natural processes of the Earth. They include phenomena such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Natural disasters can lead to significant damage to the environment, human life, property, and economies. They typically happen without human influence, but human activity can exacerbate their effects, such as through poor land use or climate change. Natural disasters often require emergency response and recovery efforts to mitigate their impact on affected populations.
