Natural disasters are catastrophic events caused by natural processes of the Earth that result in significant damage or destruction to the environment, human life, and property. They can include a wide range of phenomena such as earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and droughts. These events can occur suddenly and with little warning, leading to loss of life, injury, and significant economic hardship for affected communities. Natural disasters often disrupt normal societal functions, overwhelming emergency services and infrastructure. The occurrence and impact of these disasters can be influenced by human factors, such as urbanization and climate change, which can exacerbate their frequency and severity. Environmental management and disaster preparedness are crucial in minimizing the risks and impacts associated with natural disasters.
