Natural Disaster US

Welcome to NaturalDisaster.us! NaturalDisaster.us is a highly categorized in-depth informational resource for all terms related to Natural Disasters and Hazards. About us.


A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g. flood, tornado, volcanic eruption, earthquake, or landslide) that affects the environment, and leads to financial, environmental and/or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster, and their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability." A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events simply are not hazards or disasters without human involvement.

A. Biologically speaking, an understanding of factors that influence not just physical preparedness, but also psychological preparedness, can help families to adopt helpful strategies and actions to mitigate the impact of future natural disaster events. Natural disasters are unpredictable. Or at least they were. Our influence on the planet has become so extreme that we should be able to predict the consequences of our actions.
