INTRODUCTION
Natural disaster
Natural disasters are sudden and extreme events
caused by natural forces, like earthquakes,
hurricanes, floods, or wildfires. They can cause
widespread damage to property, infrastructure,
and even loss of life. Preparedness, early warning
systems, and community resilience are crucial in
minimizing their impact.
The impacts of natural disasters can be
devastating, leading to loss of life, displacement of
populations, destruction of homes and
businesses, disruptions to essential services like
water and electricity, and long-term economic and
environmental consequences.

TYPES OF NATURAL DISASTER:


1.CYCLONE:
 A cyclone is a big storm with strong winds
that spin in a circle.
 It usually forms over warm ocean waters.
Cyclones can cause heavy rain, flooding, and
damage to buildings and trees.
 They can also create big waves and storm
surges, which can be dangerous for coastal
areas.
 People living in places prone to cyclones
should listen to weather forecasts and follow
safety instructions to stay safe.

2.EARTHQUAKE:
 An earthquake is a sudden shaking of the
ground caused by movements deep within
the Earth's crust.
 These movements are called seismic
waves.
 Earthquakes can range from small tremors
to powerful quakes that cause buildings to
collapse and landscapes to change.
 They occur most often along tectonic plate
boundaries but can happen anywhere.
It's important to be prepared by knowing what to
do during an earthquake, such as taking cover
under sturdy furniture and staying away from
windows and heavy objects.

3.FLOOD:
 Floods happen when water overflows onto
normally dry land.
 They can occur due to heavy rains, melting
snow, or even a sudden surge from storms.
 Floods can wreck homes, ruin crops, and
disrupt lives.
 They're not just about water damage; they
can also spread diseases and create
dangerous conditions.
 To cope, communities use things like
barriers and better planning to minimize
the damage.

4.T-SUNAMI:
 Tsunamis are giant waves in the ocean, often
sparked by underwater earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, or landslides.
 These waves can travel across entire ocean
basins at incredible speeds, reaching coastal
areas with overwhelming force.
 When they hit land, they can cause massive
destruction, sweeping away buildings, flooding
towns, and disrupting lives.
 The impact of tsunamis goes beyond the initial
wave. They can trigger secondary effects like
fires, contamination of water sources, and
widespread infrastructure damage.
Coastal communities are particularly vulnerable, as
they often rely on the ocean for livelihoods and
resources.

5.DROUGHTS:
 Droughts are prolonged periods of
unusually low rainfall that can have
significant impacts on both the
environment and human societies.
 When there's not enough rain for a long
time, everything starts to dry up, including
soil, rivers, and reservoirs.
 This lack of water can be disastrous for
agriculture, as crops wither and die without
enough moisture.
 Farmers suffer, food becomes scarce, and
prices can shoot up.
 By working together and taking steps to
adapt to changing climate patterns, we can
better prepare for and mitigate the
impacts of droughts on both people and
the planet.

6.LANDSLIDES:
 Landslides happen when chunks of earth
and rock suddenly slide down a slope.
 They can be triggered by heavy rains,
earthquakes, or human activities like
digging.
 Landslides can be really dangerous,
damaging homes, roads, and sometimes
even causing injuries or deaths.
 It's important for people living in landslide-
prone areas to watch out for warning signs
and take precautions to stay safe.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, natural disasters
represent a formidable challenge for
communities worldwide, posing threats
to lives, livelihoods, and the
environment. From the devastating
power of earthquakes to the slow,
creeping impact of droughts and
landslides, these events remind us of
the immense forces at work in our
natural world. However, through
proactive planning, investment in
resilient infrastructure, and community
preparedness efforts, we can mitigate
the impacts of natural disasters and
build a more resilient future. Ultimately,
while we cannot prevent natural
disasters entirely, we have the power to
reduce their impact and build more
resilient communities that can withstand
and recover from these challenges.
REMARKS
 Natural disasters are nature's wake-up
calls, showing us just how strong and
unpredictable it can be.
 They remind us to be ready and look out
for each other.
 We learn from them to build stronger
homes and roads, and to make plans for
when they happen.
 But they also teach us about unity and
resilience, as we come together to help
those affected.
 By learning from each disaster, we make
our communities safer and stronger, ready
to face whatever nature throws our way.
Thank
you
