Natural Disasters Are Not Purely Natural

INTRODUCTION Increasing media coverage on the impact of media disaster events has raised interest in natural disasters (Hamilton and Press, 2009). This article attempts to show that the public believes that natural disasters are caused by a series of factors. The focus is on human activity, creating a terrible environment for arid areas, and becoming a natural disaster in dry areas (Giorgis, 2005). Socio-economic and environmental exposures can have devastating consequences from humble vulnerability.

Natural disasters are a devastating but undeniable part of life and society. Because of this fact, many of us tend to think that they happen as purely natural acts beyond human control. We need to start noticing that this is far from the truth, and this attitude prevents us from learning from our mistakes. In the present world, we mark various disasters inaccurately as "nature", but in reality it is closely related to "nature".

Most of what we call natural disasters (tornadoes, droughts, hurricanes) is actually natural, but human contribution may increase its potential and strength. But they are not disasters - it is dangerous. Even if a hurricane hits a land where no one lives, it is not a disaster but the weather. A disaster is a natural disaster that matches the population. Usually this intersection is far from natural. If Houston's community is found to be most vulnerable to hurricane Harvey, most damage is not only predictable but also predicted. In 2016, ProPublica announced a detailed article explaining that lack of plans could make urban residents very vulnerable to hurricanes. The city permitted the entire block to emerge in areas where the Army Corps of Engineers knew that it would flood during the heavy rain. The 1996 report urged Harris County with Houston to take measures to mitigate the risk. It will be ignored. Harvey is a strong weather phenomenon.

As cities become more intelligent, natural disasters will become more predictable. By monitoring big data and predicting future events, cities can listen to early warning signs and plan for evacuation to substantially offset the effects of natural disasters. One way Houston monitors the flood level is by the county flood meter, but the system does not fully correspond to Harvey. An example of an early warning system is the network used by Popocatetl, the most active volcano in North America. When Popocatettl occurs, it affects the local Mexican village near the volcano. To prevent this disaster, the Mexican government established a data collection network to provide early warning of peak earthquake activity to the village.
