NounWikipedia has an article on: Natural disasterPlural natural disasters natural disaster (plural natural disasters)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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.

Perhaps some more specifics would help...Do you want a specific disaster, a specific type of disaster, and how recent is 'current'? 1st link: Disaster Preparedness kits and commentary about Katrina, being prepared for it and more. 2nd Link: Lots of Katrina and FEMA's response. 3rd & 4th Link: Indonesian tsunami of 2006. 5th Link: Summary page with links from Wikipedia. Hope these help! Orion EDIT: Check the last link - It's about severe storms in Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas resulting in one death - last night. Should be current enough.

Answered by presidentofallantarctica - Mon Dec 15 02:10:13 2008 New Jersey: a storm caused a tree to fall and total my car. Does the state/city aid natural disaster damage?
Q. I had to pay out of my pocket to repair the car. I use it to get to work. I have insurance but my own insurance doesn't cover natural disasters. Does anyone know of the State helps out with natural disaster damages? I'm in Trenton, New Jersey and I recall that they might help, but I don't know if they will for car damage. Asked by vince valentine - Wed Jul 30 12:31:35 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I don't know if New Jersey is THAT different, but every state that I know of would cover this under comprehensive coverage. If you do not have this coverage than that is a different story. Since this IS something that would be covered through personal auto insurance, I can't imagine that there is a government agency that does it for *free*. ***EDIT*** I just did a quick check online and comprehensive coverage IS offered in NJ. This covers damages related to ...theft, flying debris, flood, lightning, explosion, windstorm!!, and others. I would call your agent to verify because it is not a true statement that natural disasters are not covered by insurance. Granted since COMP is an optional coverage, you may have elected to opt out of it.
