Natural Disasters

A natural disaster occurs when a catastrophic event, such as a hurricane, a flood, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, a landslide, a blizzard, or some other natural phenomena causes extensive human casualties, property damage, or both. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), plans for, responds to, and assists with the recovery from both natural and manmade disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina and 9/11.
