Natural disasters are events caused by natural processes that result in significant loss of life, property damage, or environmental disruption. These events can range from extreme weather phenomena like hurricanes and floods to geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

A natural phenomenon that occurs in a populated area is a hazardous event. A hazardous event that causes deaths or serious damage beyond society's response capacity is a natural disaster.

Wildfires are large, uncontrolled and potentially destructive fires that can affect both rural and urban areas. They can spread quickly, change direction and even 'jump' across large distances when embers and sparks are carried by the wind. They are caused by a range of natural causes (such as lightning) or by human carelessness (such as a discarded cigarette). The spread of a wildfire depends on the arrangement of land, available fuel (vegetation or dead wood) and weather

A tornado is a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground. Because wind is invisible, it is hard to see a tornado unless it forms a condensation funnel made up of water droplets, dust and debris. Tornadoes can be among the most violent phenomena of all atmospheric storms we experience.

tsunami, catastrophic ocean wave, usually caused by a submarine earthquake, an underwater or coastal landslide, or a volcanic eruption. The term tidal wave is frequently used for such a wave, but it is a misnomer, for the wave has no connection with the tides.

Drought is a natural climatic phenomenon characterised by a lack of water over a long period. Depending on the region, droughts can be one-off or cyclical. While drought certainly isn't a new challenge in some areas of the world, climate change has been causing more droughts to happen recent years, even in parts of the world that are used to higher levels of precipitation.

A landslide is defined as the movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope. Landslides are a type of "mass wasting," which denotes any down-slope movement of soil and rock under the direct influence of gravity. The term "landslide" encompasses five modes of slope movement: falls, topples, slides, spreads, and flows. These are further subdivided by the type of geologic material (bedrock, debris, or earth). Debris flows and rock falls are examples of common landslide types.
