Natural hazards
this lesson discuess about causes of natural hazards, impacts of natural hazards, process of naural disaster and types of natural hazards based of different reasons
Risky - categorising hazards
This document discusses categorizing and describing hazards. It defines hazards, disasters, and context hazards. Hazards can be categorized as hydro-meteorological, geophysical, or extra-terrestrial. Hazard profiles are used to describe key features of specific hazards. The interaction of hazards can complicate these categories. Risk is defined as the product of hazard and vulnerability, minus the capacity to cope. Keywords like vulnerability, disaster, and risk are also defined.
Disaster
This document defines and provides examples of different types of natural and man-made disasters. It discusses natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, droughts and tornadoes. It also covers man-made disasters and technological hazards like industrial accidents, fires and oil spills. The document emphasizes that while hazards may occur naturally, it is the vulnerability of human settlements and lack of emergency management that turns these events into disasters that cause loss of life and property damage. Developing nations are often the most impacted due to greater exposure and fewer resources to build resilience against disasters.
Natural Hazards, Classification and Analysis
An introduction to the concept of natural hazards,, a look at some of the ways they are classified and information about criteria used to analyze and compare natural hazards for Global Geography 12 at Charles P. Allen High School.
Global Hazards Patterns
The document discusses various natural hazards that can occur globally and in the UK, including earthquakes, flooding, drought, tropical cyclones, volcanoes, and landslides. It provides details on the causes and impacts of these hazards, maps showing risk areas, and examples of major disasters in recent decades. It also compares the natural hazard risks facing the Philippines and California coast regions.
Hazards & Types Of Disasters
The document defines different types of hazards and disasters. It discusses natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides, tropical cyclones, floods, storms, mudslides, avalanches, droughts, and wildfires. It also covers technological disasters, environmental disasters, and complex disasters involving terrorism, civil unrest, and refugee problems. The document provides descriptions and examples of each type of hazard and disaster.
World at Risk
There are two main types of hazards: climate-related hazards like droughts, floods, and storms, and land-related hazards like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. The risk of disaster increases as the frequency or severity of hazards increases, vulnerability rises, and capacity to cope decreases. Factors that influence disaster risk include rapid population growth, global warming, poverty, El Niño events, and deforestation. Deaths from disasters have decreased due to improved risk management like early warning systems, prevention methods, and disaster education programs.
Global Hazards
The document discusses various natural hazards that can cause disasters including depressions, hurricanes, droughts, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and avalanches. It describes the physical processes that cause each hazard and their potential impacts, such as property damage, deaths or injuries. The document also discusses concepts of risk, vulnerability and capacity, noting that hazards combined with vulnerability can lead to disasters, while greater capacity can reduce risk and impacts.

Natural Disasters
India experiences many natural disasters that cause loss of life and property damage. Some key points:
- India averages over 4,600 deaths per year from disasters like earthquakes, floods, landslides, cyclones and heat waves. Over 1.5 billion people are affected on average each year.
- Economic damage from disasters averages over $1.5 billion per year. Some of the costliest individual disasters include the 1993 floods ($7 billion), 2006 floods ($3.39 billion), and the 2001 earthquake ($2.62 billion).
- The document concludes that India is not fully prepared to handle national disasters due to the widespread impacts experienced. Preparedness needs to be improved to better cope with future disasters.
Natural Disasters
This document discusses natural disasters, including what defines a natural disaster versus a natural hazard. It then lists and provides brief descriptions of common natural disasters such as earthquakes, avalanches, landslides, floods, tsunamis, blizzards, droughts, and wildfires. For earthquakes specifically, it outlines what to do before, during, and after an earthquake occurs. It also notes that earthquakes are among the most likely natural disasters to occur in Chile and lists some active volcanoes in the country.
Risk
The document discusses risk from natural hazards and disasters. It defines risk as the probability of a hazardous event causing harmful consequences based on potential deaths, injuries, property damage, economic impacts, and environmental effects. Risk is determined by the interaction of hazards, vulnerability, and capacity to cope. Factors like involuntary hazards, immediate impacts, and deaths grouped in space and time tend to increase risk perception, while voluntary hazards, delayed impacts, and statistical victims tend to decrease risk perception. Individual responses to risk are influenced by experience, wealth, personality, and psychological denial. The document also lists the top 5 most dangerous earthquake hot spots in the US beyond California.
Natural Disasters Lecture 1 (Introduction)
This document provides an introduction to natural disasters by defining key terms like hazard, disaster, catastrophe, and natural. It then lists common natural disasters and explains how one event can trigger another. The document discusses measuring the magnitude of disasters, how frequently they occur, and the relationship between magnitude and frequency. It also addresses how population growth, urbanization, mitigation efforts, historical patterns, warning systems, risk maps, engineering, and preparedness can influence the impacts of natural disasters.
World At Risk Global Hazards
Global hazards include hydro-meteorological hazards caused by climate processes like droughts and floods, and geophysical hazards caused by land processes like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The risk of disaster is determined by the hazard, a population's vulnerability, and their capacity to cope. While the number of geophysical hazards has remained steady, hydro-meteorological hazards are increasing due to global warming. Deaths from disasters have decreased due to improved risk management strategies like prediction, prevention, and preparedness, but global economic losses from disasters are rising rapidly.
The World At Risk
The document discusses natural hazards and disasters. It defines hazards as natural events that involve people, where social and environmental factors can turn an event into a disaster. There are two main classifications of hazards: hydro-meteorological hazards caused by weather patterns like floods and storms, and geophysical hazards caused by earth processes like earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides. A disaster is defined as a natural event that causes human or economic losses. While the number of deaths from disasters has decreased due to better preparedness, the number of people affected and economic costs have risen due to increasing population in vulnerable areas and climate change impacts.
Planetary disasters
The disasters that are existing or occurring in inner space of a planet are called as terrestrial or planetary disasters.
Disasters
Natural disasters include earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts, tornadoes, and tsunamis. Earthquakes result from the sudden movement of tectonic plates, causing shock waves that damage buildings and infrastructure. Volcanic eruptions eject lava and ash, destroying structures and harming health. Cyclones are rotating low-pressure systems that include hurricanes and typhoons, consisting of an eye, eye wall, and rain bands. Floods occur when bodies of water overflow their boundaries, submerging land. Droughts are prolonged periods of unusually dry weather that harm crops and reduce water supply. Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air that extend from thunderstorms
Definition of disaster and disaster risk
Disasters are defined as sudden events that cause great damage and loss of life and property. They can be natural, caused by forces like earthquakes, floods, or hurricanes, or human-caused by things like explosions, accidents, or terrorism. Disaster risk refers to the probability that a hazard will damage infrastructure or disrupt a community based on its construction and location. Disasters are categorized as either natural or human-made, and can range from short events to ones lasting days or weeks with ongoing destruction. They include natural hazards like storms, earthquakes, wildfires, and human or technological threats such as hazardous materials, power outages, explosions, or cyber attacks.
Extreme natural disasters
Natural disasters occur when natural hazards such as floods, hurricanes, earthquakes interact with human and built environments. Hazards become dangerous when they threaten humans or destroy infrastructure. The frequency of earthquakes of different magnitudes follows a general pattern, with smaller quakes occurring more often than very large ones. New Zealand has experienced several significant natural disasters in its history, including landslides, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions.
Project on Disaster Management
This document discusses a student's school project on disaster management. It provides an introduction to different types of disasters, including natural disasters like floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, and tsunamis. It also discusses man-made disasters caused by industrial accidents or deliberately by humans. The effects of these disasters are explained with examples like the 2013 Moore tornado in Oklahoma, Cyclone Amphan in India and Bangladesh in 2020, and the 2001 Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat, India.
Presentaion on natural hazards
A presentation on natural hazards was given by group members Ahsan Jamal, Ramakant Pandey, Shripad Dongare, Sahil Nikam, and Shahrukh Shaikh. The presentation introduced natural disasters and defined them as major adverse events resulting from natural Earth processes like floods, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes. Natural disasters were classified into meteorological, topographical, and environmental categories. The top 10 natural disasters were identified as cyclones, earthquakes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods, wildlife, drought, avalanches, and landslides. Causes of natural disasters included movements of the Earth, weather events, and secondary disasters like floods and
Power Point
Natural disasters are events caused by natural hazards that negatively impact the environment and cause financial, environmental, and human losses. Earthquakes are caused by the release of built up stress along geological faults and while the quakes themselves don't often directly kill people, secondary events like building collapses, fires, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions can cause human disasters. Tsunamis are massive waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or meteorite impacts that displace large amounts of water and look like an endlessly onrushing tide, containing immense energy and propagating at high speeds. Avalanches are rapid snow flows down mountain slopes that can be triggered naturally or by human activity
Natural disaster
Natural disasters are events caused by natural hazards that negatively impact the environment and cause financial, environmental, and human losses. Earthquakes are caused by the buildup and sudden release of energy along fault lines in the Earth's crust and while rarely directly killing people, often trigger secondary events like building collapses, fires, and tsunamis that cause loss of life. Tsunamis are massive waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, or meteorite impacts that displace large amounts of water and can have wave heights over 15 meters, containing immense destructive power. Avalanches are rapid flows of snow down mountain slopes that can incorporate air, water, ice, rocks, and trees, posing

Unit 4 Pre Release
The document discusses tectonic hazards and their impacts on communities. It explores the different types and levels of challenges posed by varying forms of tectonic activity such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. It examines how the impacts of tectonic hazards vary depending on location and economic development through case studies of contrasting locations. Approaches to reducing risks from tectonic hazards are also discussed.
Geography project on disaster and its management
The document discusses various natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, droughts, and cyclones. It defines each disaster and describes their causes and effects. For each disaster, it provides examples of past events that caused significant damage and loss of life in India. It also lists precautionary measures that can be taken to reduce risks and prepare for disasters. Key points covered include the definition of an earthquake and tsunami, cyclones developing due to low pressure systems, floods occurring when rivers overflow, drought prone areas of India, and the devastating impact of past events like the 2001 Gujarat earthquake and 1990 Andhra Pradesh cyclone.
EVS-MOD-4.ppt
Natural hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones, and floods are discussed in the document. Earthquakes occur due to disequilibrium in the earth's crust and can cause severe damage to infrastructure and loss of life. Tsunamis are large waves generated by seismic activity or landslides that can devastate coastal areas. Cyclones are intense storms that form over oceans and bring powerful winds and rains. Floods occur when heavy rainfall or dam/embankment breaches cause rivers to overflow their banks. The document outlines the types and effects of these natural disasters.
Disaster Management and Health
A disaster is a natural or man-made hazard that causes substantial damage and destruction. Disasters disproportionately impact developing countries due to greater vulnerabilities and risks. Disaster management aims to reduce the impacts of disasters through preparedness, mitigation and response. It involves coordinating response efforts at all levels to provide emergency aid and meet basic needs in disaster-stricken areas. Effective disaster management relies on thorough emergency planning and response coordination among different organizations.
Disaster management
Disaster management involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from both natural and man-made disasters. It includes preparedness training for citizens to lessen the impact of disasters. All aspects of disaster management work to protect populations from consequences of disasters, wars, and terrorism. While threats cannot always be prevented, emergency management focuses on search and rescue efforts. Major disasters like Chernobyl and the 2011 Japan earthquake and tsunami were extremely costly and challenging to manage.

A disaster is defined as a sudden event that causes widespread human and material losses exceeding a community's ability to cope. Disasters can be natural, caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts or tornadoes. They can also be man-made, such as chemical spills, nuclear accidents, acts of terrorism, or other industrial and transportation incidents. Preparing for disasters includes activities like detection, incident command, safety, assessment, support, triage, evacuation and recovery. Both natural and man-made disasters have severe negative effects including loss of life and property as well as long-term environmental and health impacts.

A disaster is defined as a sudden event that causes widespread human and material losses exceeding a community's ability to cope. Disasters can be natural, caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts or tornadoes. They can also be man-made, such as chemical spills, nuclear accidents, acts of terrorism, or other industrial and transportation incidents. Preparing for disasters includes having detection systems, incident response plans, safety measures, hazard assessments, support systems, medical triage and evacuation routes. Both natural and man-made disasters can have severe negative effects including loss of life, property damage, health issues and environmental degradation.
Natural & Man Made Disaster00000001.pptx
Natural disasters are sudden events, like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, floods, droughts and tsunamis that disrupt society. Man-made disasters result from human causes, intentionally or unintentionally, like nuclear accidents, chemical spills, radiological events, terrorism and more. Understanding the causes of disasters can help mitigate their effects, though not all can be prevented. Proper preparation and response are needed to reduce risks to lives and property.
Disaster management
Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and movement of tectonic plates can cause earth-related disasters like earthquakes. Earthquakes can result in fires, landslides, destruction of infrastructure, and loss of life. Proper construction of earthquake-resistant buildings, relief efforts, and education can help manage earthquakes risks. Landslides are also induced by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, damaging habitations, agriculture, roads, and bridges. Floods from heavy rain, snowmelt, or cyclones can damage crops, property, transportation and spread disease. Anthropogenic disasters, both intentional and accidental, include wars, terrorism, industrial accidents and fires, causing severe harm.
Disaster management
The document discusses disaster management and defines different types of disasters. It defines disaster management as the organization and management of resources to deal with humanitarian aspects of emergencies, including preparedness, response, and recovery. There are four main types of disasters discussed: natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, environmental emergencies like industrial accidents, complex emergencies involving conflict, and pandemic emergencies involving disease outbreaks. Local, national, and international organizations all have disaster management plans covering prevention, preparedness, relief, and recovery.

This document discusses different types of disasters, dividing them into natural and human-made categories. It provides examples of specific natural disasters like earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and volcanoes. These disasters are described as natural processes that can cause damage and loss of life. The document also discusses human-made disasters resulting from events like fires, industrial accidents, terrorism and war. It notes that while disasters have human causes or contributions, some can also be seen as purely human-made due to failure to implement emergency measures.
Disaster Management.pptx
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tornadoes and droughts can cause fatalities and property damage. Earthquakes are caused by seismic waves moving through the earth's crust. Floods result from overflowing rivers, collapsed dams, snowmelt or other factors. Tornadoes form from collisions of warm and cold air masses. Droughts occur due to prolonged periods without rain. Man-made disasters include terrorism, cyber attacks and nuclear attacks which threaten human life and safety. Cyber attacks aim to disable networks while nuclear weapons derive explosive force from nuclear fission or fusion reactions. Proper preparation and prevention methods can help minimize risks from various disaster types.

This document discusses disaster preparedness and mitigation. It defines a disaster as an event that causes damage, disruption, loss of life or health deterioration on a large scale. Disasters can be natural, caused by events like earthquakes, floods and volcanoes, or man-made like terrorism or civil unrest. Key components of disaster management are preparedness, response, recovery and prevention/mitigation. Preparedness involves ensuring communities can cope with disasters through education, warning systems and drills. Response requires measures during and after disasters to minimize effects. Recovery aids emergency areas with infrastructure and economic rebuilding. Prevention eliminates or reduces disaster incidence and severity through risk avoidance and disaster-resistant infrastructure.

Disaster ppt
Disaster management involves responding to and mitigating extreme natural or man-made events that exceed tolerable limits and cause catastrophic losses. Tropical cyclones are among the most powerful and destructive atmospheric storms, with wind speeds up to 400 km/hr and heavy rainfall. Mitigation efforts include tree planting, constructing dams and drainage systems, and evacuation routes. Floods occur when heavy rain or snowmelt causes water to overflow riverbanks for several days. Drought is a prolonged period of dryness that can kill vegetation and change ecosystems. Earthquakes generate seismic waves that cause buildings and infrastructure to collapse, sometimes triggering tsunamis and landslides. Disaster relief includes search and rescue operations, temporary shelter, healthcare, and

Disaster management
- 2. Disaster management is the term used to designate the efforts of communities or businesses to plan for and coordinate all personnel and materials required to either mitigate the effects of, or recover from, natural or man- made disasters, or acts of terrorism. Disaster management does not avert or eliminate the threats, although their study is an important part of the field. Events covered by disaster management include acts of terrorism, industrial sabotage, fire, natural disasters (such as earthquakes, hurricanes, etc.), public disorder, industrial accidents, and communication failures.

- 5. A tsunami is a series of water waves caused by the displacement of a large volume of a body of water, generally an ocean or a large lake. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other underwater explosions, landslides, glacier calvings,meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.
- 6. When in coastal areas, stay alert for tsunami warnings. Plan an evacuation route that leads to higher ground. Know the warning signs of a tsunami: rapidly rising or falling coastal waters and rumblings of an offshore earthquake. Never stay near shore to watch a tsunami come in. A tsunami is a series of waves. Do not return to an affected coastal area until authorities say it is safe.
