2. Natural Disaster..
• A natural disaster is an event with a natural, as
opposed to human, cause that results in large-scale
loss of life or damage to property. It could be related
to weather, geology, biology or even factors outside
the Earth. Examples are earthquakes, hurricanes,
droughts and flooding. Disease epidemics are
sometimes considered natural disasters, but may be
put into a different category. In some cases, natural
and human factors may combine to produce a
disaster.
3. Who is effected?
• Natural disasters can effect everyone,
everywhere. Even if it didn’t happen in our
state or area, the cost effects the nation as a
whole.
5. Uttarakhand Disaster(2013)
• The incessant rain that hit Uttarakhand from June 14 triggered
flash floods and landslides, leading to thousands of deaths,
while thousands more are missing. Over 1,00,000 people have
been evacuated so far from the affected areas. According to
Uttrakhand government, more than 5,700 were dead,
including 934 local residents.

Uttarakhand state was attributed, by environmentalists, to
unscientific developmental activities undertaken in recent
decades contributing to high level of loss of property and
lives. Roads constructed in haphazard style, new resorts and
hotels built on fragile river banks and more than 70
hydroelectric projects in the watersheds of the state led to a
"disaster waiting to happen" as termed by certain
environmentalists
