A natural disaster is a significant adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth that causes destruction and disruption to life and property. These events can include earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis. Natural disasters typically occur with little or no warning and can lead to severe consequences, including loss of life, injury, and damage to infrastructure, homes, and ecosystems.
