A **natural disaster** is the effect of a natural hazard e.g flood, tornado, hurricane, volcanic eruption , earthquake, or landslide. It leads to financial, environmental or human losses. The resulting loss depends on the vulnerability of the affected population to resist the hazard, also called their resilience.Disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability. A natural disaster will never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability .such as a big earthquake in an uninhabitable area (this page will be edited). bibliography Wikipedia
