Talk:Natural hazard

message: I'm interested in adding some references, and some additional natural hazards to this page, but am having trouble getting the one reference that I added (in the earthquakes section I added This Dynamic Planet) correct - not sure I understand the purpose of an archived url number.

message: No mention of this, I note Geoscience Australia has just released a report on this, I would be surprised if the US did not have something similar. Paul foord (talk) 12:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: No mention of responses to natural hazards

message: I'm new to Wikipedia editing, and made a number of updates to the Natural Hazard article, adding refs, new sections, etc. I thought I needed to submit for review, but then thought that review may only be for new articles, rather than revisions. So I went ahead and posted my updates also - if anyone can give me guidance - was it okay to just update it live, and if so, when is it appropriate to submit for review instead? - I would be grateful. Thanks!Tburress (talk) 13:26, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The third sentence, "Geophysical hazards encompass geologic", is obviously unfinished and somebody with the needed knowledge should complete it with what geophysical hazards encompass. Mregelsberger (talk) 09:42, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

message: May I suggest that the page natural disaster' be merged into Natural hazard? Rather than the other way round?
It's a simple and boring and a smelly case of cause and effect: A natural hazard is the cause of a natural disaster. Further to this argument, on the page 'Natural Disaster' the information on natural hazards was the main constituent.
There's alot more that can be added on 'natural disaster' such as definitions etc (see discussion on 'natural disaster' page.), but unfortunately I have to work now!

replies: text: The above comment is not very precise, which makes it inaccurate. Disasters are a social event, not a natural one. Natural hazards, such as floods, earthquakes, tornadoes, etc may exist only as a hazard if they do not or only minimally impact society. If a natural hazard does negatively impact society, it can be categorized (in increasing severity) as an emergency, disaster, or catastrophe. The term "natural disaster" is still common in media and colloquial usage, but it is not considered accurate within the current literature or theory—the articles should be revised to better define the term. Portions of the 'Natural disaster' page should probably be merged to this one, and all the pages in general probably need better categorization and reorganization to improve accuracy and clarity and reduce redundancy.
[I will edit my comment to add references and delete this note when I do]

thread_title: Merge - 'Natural disaster' be merged into Natural hazard?

message: I would like to come back to the naming issue that has been raised here on the talk page a few times and also at the talk pages of natural disaster and disaster. We really ought to move away from the term "natural disaster" altogether. I've started a new discussion thread about it, please see here and contribute to the discussion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Natural_disaster#Moving_away_from_the_term_%22natural_disaster%22
