Natural disasters as we all know are the consequences of events triggered by natural hazards that overwhelm local response capacity and seriously affect the social and economic development of a region. There is basically no human control over the natural disaster. We cannot stop these natural disasters but what is in our hands is to be prepared for these. Also, there are a lot of ways through which we can minimize the damage caused due to these natural disasters. Traditionally, natural disasters have been seen as situations that create challenges and problems mainly of a humanitarian nature. There is no way to prevent or avert these natural disasters, though scientists do claim to have found the ways to predict these natural disasters at most of the times they have failed to predict natural disasters causing some serious destruction. During the last few years, there has been an increase in the reports of natural disasters as well as destruction caused due to these disasters. The tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes, which hit parts of Asia and the Americas in 2004/2005 are some examples of natural disasters in past few years and floods in the parts of Uttarakhand is a recent example of the destruction caused due to these natural calamities. These calamities have led to the displacement of a lot of people and heavy loss of life as well as the property was also reported. Not just these few cases, natural disasters can be of many types which may include volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods, drought, landslides, or earthquakes etc.
