There are all kinds of natural disasters to consider, like hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornados. These events can level a city, cause a huge death toll and cost a lot of money for the city affected.

The vulnerabilities when it comes to natural disasters, can be caused from severe weather like storms, droughts, and extreme hot weather. Can also be caused by severe fires.

With inadequate tree trimming this could cause a problem with any kind of weather, with not cutting back tress it makes powerlines more

Natural disasters happen all the time around the world; some are more devastating than others. Tsunamis tear apart cities like they are paper. There are tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, and all sorts of other disasters but per square foot tsunamis are the most powerful. Tsunami’s are known to be very fast waves, but speeds on average can be around five hundred miles per hour or eight hundred and five kilometers per hour. Tsunami’s will not only be powerful, but they will tear and demolish anything

research in any disaster serves as a means to more effectively progress through disastrous occurrences. Research helps to minimize confusion with occurrences that have never occurred before. Hindrances displays itself in many different arrangements during the progression of any natural disaster. Early development for research grouping proprieties before a disaster transpires, can truly help to mitigate situations that may be the cause of added hindrance during any unfortunate natural disaster.

events that could ruin people lives are natural disasters or manmade disasters, losing someone that you cared about most in this world. These events leave us looking hopeless, needing a sense of direction and a big contribution from the man upstairs.

Most societal problems can be easy to identify such as a rise in crime or the effects of a natural disaster such as an earthquake. There is a natural disaster that is currently facing the state of California in particular which is much harder to overcome – the drought. According to state government officials, California is experiencing one of the driest decades in recorded history and the drought is so severe that the governor, Jerry Brown, declared a state of emergency in 2014 because of it. Since

Disasters like the flooding in Houston and the hurricanes across the country are unbelievably destructive and have started to become a major problem for the world. While these storms are supposed to be rare and are labeled as 100 or 500 year events this idea can be misleading to the public (Nadja, 2017). People hear this and assume that these events only occur once every 500 years but this is not the case a 500-year flood has a 1 in 500 chances of occurring every year so it’s possible to occur frequently

contrast from being harmless to deadly. They are natural disasters that happen unexpectedly while destroying almost everything in just under a few minutes and extremely harmful and more powerful than a nuclear object would be. Earthquakes are incidents when the rocks under the earth move, freeing energy that later causes shaking. The plates move in many different ways and occur just as frequently as in the past (Wells). An earthquake is the most deadly disaster with many leading factors and disputes (Stock)
