the last 500 years‚ several million people have been killed by earthquakes around the world‚ including over 240‚000 in the 1976 T’ang-Shan‚ China‚ earthquake.

Australia’s most common natural hazards are storms‚ cyclones‚ floods‚ droughts‚ heatwaves and bushfires. Natural Hazards have a major impact on Australian communities including loss of life‚ property damage‚ environmental destruction‚ and a loss of money due to disaster relief.

These disasters include the increasing sea level‚ changes in precipitation patterns resulting in floods and droughts‚ greater intensity of natural effects such as hurricanes‚ species extinctions and other factors to be discussed ahead. We can already see the patterns of destruction emerging‚ but we do not yet know the ultimate outcome. We do know that those
