Natural Hazards and Disasters

Natural hazards and disasters are powerful and often unpredictable forces of nature that pose significant threats to life, property, and the environment. While natural hazards refer to potential events like earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, or volcanic eruptions, disasters occur when these hazards lead to widespread destruction and human suffering. The distinction lies in the impact—what transforms a hazard into a disaster often depends on human vulnerability, preparedness, and response. Understanding the causes, impacts, and strategies for mitigating natural hazards is crucial in building resilient communities and minimizing the devastating consequences they can bring.
