A natural disaster is a natural event, such as an earthquake, flood, or hurricane, which negatively affects society, either through damage to property or through loss of life. A natural hazard is a disaster that has not yet occurred. Natural events are often referred to as natural hazards when referring to the general phenomenon, but they are called natural disasters when referring to a specific event, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami or Hurricane Katrina.
