Types of disasters

A weather condition characterized by freezing rain, resulting in ice accumulation that can cause damage to structures and power lines.

A rapidly rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground, capable of causing severe damage with strong winds.

The sudden shaking of the Earth's surface due to movements within the Earth's crust or volcanic action.

A prolonged period of excessively hot weather, often accompanied by high humidity.

A sudden electrostatic discharge during a thunderstorm, producing bright flashes of light and potentially causing fires or other damage.

The eruption of magma from beneath the Earth's crust, leading to the release of lava, ash, and gases.

A large mass of snow, ice, and rocks rapidly sliding down a mountain or slope.

An uncontrolled fire that spreads rapidly through vegetation, often fueled by dry conditions, wind, and heat.

A powerful tropical cyclone with high winds and heavy rain, forming over warm ocean waters.

A series of large ocean waves typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides.

A prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall leading to a shortage of water.

A sudden drop in temperature over a short period, causing extremely cold conditions that can affect agriculture, health, and infrastructure.

Winds that reach high speeds, which can lead to damage to buildings, trees, and infrastructure.

Precipitation in the form of small balls or lumps of ice that fall from clouds during thunderstorms.

Severe cold weather conditions, including snowstorms, blizzards, and ice accumulation that can disrupt daily activities and infrastructure.

The inundation of land areas along the coast caused by sea water, often due to storm surges or high tides.

The movement of a mass of rock, debris, or earth down a slope due to gravity.

The overflow of rivers and streams, inundating nearby land areas and potentially damaging property and crops.
