Natural disaster: What is a natural disaster? Natural disasters are natural disasters affecting human life and property. Natural disasters that occurred on the ocean floor and not felt by other people were not considered natural disasters and the 2005 Pakistan earthquake killed nearly 100,000 people and destroyed many houses. Engineers must survive and research and understand natural disasters to create structures that protect people from powerful forces. Engineers also design the equipment and tools that people use to explore the power of the planet and the power of nature, and how to avoid or relocate natural disasters.

............................ .... ................................................ 8 Natural disaster Introduction Natural disasters are the effects of natural disasters (eg floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, heat waves or landslides). It can lead to financial, environmental or human loss. The damage that occurs will depend on the vulnerability to the hazard of the affected people. This is also called resilience. This understanding concentrates on the sentence "There is a possibility that a disaster may occur when a disaster encounters a vulnerability." Therefore, natural disasters occur

While most of what we call natural disasters (tornadoes, droughts, hurricanes) is actually natural, human contributions may increase their possibilities 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. Looking at the Hurricane Harvey's most injured Houston community, most damage is not only predictable - it is predicted. In 2016, ProPublica announced a detailed article explaining that lack of plans could make urban residents very vulnerable to hurricanes. The city allows the entire community to rise in areas where the Army Corps of Engineers knows that flooding will occur 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.
