Natural disasters, also known as acts of God, calamities, and famines, refer to abnormal phenomena that occur in nature, which cause severe disasters to surrounding lifeforms and human society.
This is humanity's definition of a natural disaster.
Discarding the flowery explanations, from the very beginning of human existence, we have been battling various natural disasters and paying a hefty price.
In winter, snowstorms can kill.
In summer, droughts can kill.
On highlands, avalanches can kill.
By the coast, tsunamis can kill.
Normally, typhoons, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and meteorite impacts still result in deaths.
Natural disasters often erupt suddenly, making them unpredictable, and thus, the losses are severe. Of course, over the years, humanity has amassed a lot of experience, learned to detect natural disasters, and devised various ways to prevent them.
