Natural disasters are sudden and extreme events caused by natural processes of the Earth that result in significant disruption or destruction. They encompass a wide range of phenomena, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and droughts. These events can lead to loss of life, injury, damage to property and infrastructure, and adverse effects on the environment and economies. Natural disasters often result from complex interactions between the Earth’s systems, including geological, meteorological, and oceanographic factors. Their impact can vary greatly depending on various factors such as location, preparedness, and response capabilities of communities and governments.
