A natural disaster is defined by the UN as: “the consequences of events
triggered by natural hazards that overwhelm local response capacity and
seriously affect the social and economic development of a region.” In
other words, if an earthquake takes place on an uninhabited island and
no one is affected, it is not a natural disaster. In order to be a
disaster, people must be affected. Similarly, if flooding takes place in
an area where there is adequate preparation, it probably isn’t a
natural disaster. If a similar level of flooding, however, takes place
in an area where there isn’t preparation and crops are ruined and people
are forced to abandon their homes, it then can be a natural disaster.
Similarly, heavy rainfalls occur in many parts of the world. Normally,
they are not natural disasters, but when the rainfall is heavier than
usual and when precautions have not been taken, a natural disaster can
result. The rainfall itself is not the disaster, but rather the
consequences of the rainfall.
