Wikipedia natural disaster A natural disaster is the consequence or effect of a hazardous event, occurring when human activities and natural phenomenon (a physical event, such as a volcanic eruption, earthquake, landslide etc. that does not affect human beings) become enmeshed. The resulting fatalities, or property damages depend on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster (Bankoff et al.2004). A disaster is a social disruption that can occur at any level of the individual, the community, or the State (Kreps 1986). In areas where there are no human interests, natural phenomena do not constitute hazards, nor do they result in natural disasters. This understanding is crystallized in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability " (Blaikie, 1994).
