Natural disasters are catastrophic events that occur due to natural processes of the Earth. These events can result in significant damage to the environment, property, and human life. Common types of natural disasters include earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and landslides. They can arise from geological, meteorological, hydrological, or climatic phenomena. Natural disasters can disrupt communities, lead to loss of life, and require emergency management responses to mitigate their impacts. Additionally, the frequency and intensity of natural disasters can be influenced by factors such as climate change, urbanization, and land use practices. Understanding natural disasters is crucial for disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts.
