INTRODUCTION- WHAT IS A NATURAL DISASTER?
 The definition of natural disasters is any catastrophic
event that is caused by nature or the natural processes of
the earth. The severity of a disaster is measured in lives
lost, economic loss, and the ability of the population to
rebuild. Events that occur in unpopulated areas are not
considered disasters. So a flood on an uninhabited island
would not count as a disaster, but a flood in a populated
area is called a natural disaster.
 All natural disasters cause loss in some way. Depending
on the severity, lives can be lost in any number of
disasters. Falling buildings or trees, freezing to death,
being washed away, or heat stroke are just some of the
deadly effects. Some disasters cause more loss of life
than others, and population density affects the death
count as well.
