Description: Beside pandemics and famines, humans have also suffered from the impact of other kinds of disasters, which at times were very destructive of lives and property. Among these natural disasters there were earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, major floods, hurricanes and tornadoes, and tsunamis. While some of these were clearly Acts of God, increasingly some had some human contribution, because of the growing impact that humans had started to have on nature. This human impact was growing with the passing of time. The increase in the standard of living of humans was increasingly coming at a high natural cost. The chapter provides information on some of the major disasters.
