Natural hazards are the result of physical processes that affect humans every day.
Geographically informed people must understand those impacts and how humans use technology to adapt to phenomena such as fires, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricanes, and volcanoes. This lesson is designed to help students understand that the negative consequences of natural hazards can be reduced if we understand our vulnerability to them and adapt to them. Research natural disasters around the world. Relief The University of Colorado Natural Hazards Center Create a list of 15 to 20 nations recently affected by natural hazards, enough to assign one nation to every two students in your class. Your collection should show a broad range of events and consequences.
