A natural hazard is any natural event that poses a risk to humans or the environment. Some natural hazards, such as severe weather events, can be predicted using data and technology. Other hazards, such as earthquakes, are not yet predictable.

Natural Hazards is a very scary thing. We must work together to learn more about them and to help find out how to avoid it (and maybe even stop it)
