DO MY FRIENDS KNOW ABOUT
TURKEY’S
NATURAL DISASTERS?
NATURAL DISASTERS
A natural disaster is the consequence of a natural hazard (e.g.
volcanic eruption, earthquake, and landslide) which moves
from potential in to an active phase, and as a result affects
human activities. Human vulnerability, exacerbated by the lack
of planning or lack of appropriate emergency management,
leads to financial, structural, and human losses. The resulting
loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or
resist the disaster, their resilience. This understanding is
concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when
hazards meet vulnerability".
A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in
areas without vulnerability, e.g. strong earthquakes in
uninhabited areas. The term natural has consequently been
disputed because the events simply are not hazards or
disasters without human involvement. The degree of potential
loss can also depend on the nature of the hazard itself,
ranging from a single lightning strike, which threatens a very
small area, to impact events, which have the potential to end
civilization. For lists of natural disasters, see the list of
disasters or the list of deadliest natural disasters.
