Natural hazards are natural events that threaten lives, property, and other
assets. Often, natural hazards can be predicted. They tend to
occur repeatedly in the same geographical locations because they are related
to weather patterns or physical characteristics of an area.
Natural hazards such as flood, fire, earthquake, tornado, and windstorms
affect thousands of people every year. We need to know what our risks
are from natural hazards and take sensible precautions to protect ourselves,
our families, and our communities.
