Types of Disaster

Write two different types of natural and man-made disasters, along with examples.  

3.1 Natural Disasters

Start with the definition—Natural hazards are environmental events that can affect societies and the human environment. They are different from man-made hazards. For example, a flood caused by changes in river flows is a natural hazard, while a flood caused by a dam failure is a man-made hazard.

Now, describe various natural disasters and their impacts. Quote a few, e.g., of natural disasters like:

  • Earthquakes
  • Tsunamis
  • Hurricanes/Cyclones
  • Floods
  • Volcanic Eruptions
  • Avalanche, etc.
