Content: Moreover, roads may be blocked through trees and thus the transportation system may collapse as a result of natural disasters. Public health issues and diseases
Natural disasters often destroy many important facilities that are meant to keep living conditions stable. If these facilities are destroyed, there will likely be an increase in diseases since the hygienic conditions dropped as a consequence of the natural disaster. Making things worse, natural disasters often also destroy hospitals and other medical facilities. This means not only the likelihood of diseases increases due to lower hygienical standards, also the supply of medicines will be more difficult. As a result, it is more likely that people will not be able to recover from their diseases. Food scarcity
Another effect of natural disasters can be a scarcity of resources, which is especially severe when it comes to the supply of food. If large areas of land have been destructed by natural disasters, farmers will no longer be able to harvest enough crops or to raise enough cattle in order to meet the demand. Thus, the local population is likely to suffer from starvation. Water scarcity
