It's not possible to prevent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
However, careful management of these hazards can minimise the damage
that they cause. Prediction is the most important aspect of this, as
this gives people time to evacuate the area and make preparations for
the event.
Hurricanes - also know as typhoons or cyclones - form in specific
conditions. Different countries have different ways of preparing and
responding to their devastating impact.
A tsunami is a huge wave, usually caused by volcanic or earthquake
activity under the ocean, which can eventually crash onto the shoreline.
The effects on a community can be devastating.
