Natural disasters are catastrophic events resulting from geological, meteorological, hydrological, or environmental factors that cause significant damage to the natural environment, human life, and property. These events can include earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and droughts. They often occur suddenly and with little warning, leading to loss of life, injuries, displacement of populations, and destruction of infrastructure. The impact of natural disasters can also extend to economic losses, public health crises, and long-term environmental changes. The severity and frequency of natural disasters can be influenced by natural processes and human activity, such as climate change, urban development, and land use practices. Understanding and preparing for natural disasters involves assessing risks, implementing early warning systems, and establishing emergency response plans to mitigate their effects on communities and ecosystems.
