ADVANCED TEXTBOOK SERIES Earth's Natural Hazards and Disasters Natural hazards are present in every part of planet Earth. Sometimes a natural event - such as extreme weather, a volcanic eruption, earthquake or disease outbreak - turns into a disaster for humans, the environment, and the economy.

It explains the science behind natural events and explores how to understand risk and prepare for disasters.
