     NATURAL EVENTS CAUSED EITHER BY INNER OR EXTERNAL DYNAMIC ORIGINS ARE NATURAL IN TERMS OF THEIR OWN MECHANISMS.

    VOLCANIC ACTIVITIES, EARTHQUAKES, LANDSLIDES, ROCK FALLS, AVALANCHES, FLASH FLOODS, WATER INUNDATIONS, EROSION, SEDIMENTATION, VIOLENT HURRICANES, SAND STORMS, SEVERE COLD AND HOT WEATHER, INTENSIVE FOGS, FROST EVENTS, NATURAL FOREST FIRES, INSECTS AND HARMFUL ANIMAL INVASIONS, AND GROUND COLLAPSES TAKING PLACE ON EARTH ETC...

    ALL THESE ABOVE MENTIONED NATURAL EVENTS HAVE OCCURED PERIODICALLY AT DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES THROUGH THE GEOLOGICAL PERIODS AND HAVE BEEN STILL OCCURING AT PRESENT TIME.  ALL THOSE EVENTS ARE NECESSARY FOR KEEPING THE NATURAL BALANCE BUT THEY CAN TURN INTO "DISASTERS" WHEN THEY ARE HARMFUL FOR PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT THEY LIVE IN AND WHEN WE ARE UNABLE TO PREVENT THEM FROM HAPPENING.

    IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PREVENT NATURAL DISASTERS WHICH CAUSE MULTI DIMENSIONAL  ECONOMIC AND AND SOCIAL DAMAGES (LOSS OF LIFE AND PROSPERITY, SOCIAL WAY OF LIFE, ETC) FROM HAPPENING COMPLETELY. BUT SOME EFFECTIVE PRECAUTIONS CAN BE TAKEN IN ORDER TO LESSEN THEIR IMPACTS.
