Deadly Disasters - Hurricanes

With a combination of torrential rain, powerful winds, and devastating storm surges, Hurricanes are among Mother Nature’s most calamitous natural disasters.

Deadly Disasters - Blizzards

With ice, freezing temperatures, and ferocious winds — the Blizzard is one of Mother Nature’s most effective killing machines. They are typically associated with heavy snow, but may even occur when there is little or no snowfall.

Deadly Disasters - Landslides

Nothing can be done to prevent a landslide once it starts; they are among the most ferocious and devastating forces in nature.

Volcanoes occupy a special place in our imagination. Stories of the destruction of the ancient Roman city of Pompeii continue to fascinate, while terrifying visions of exploding fire and molten rock play a key part in our nightmares.

Deadly Disasters - Heatwaves

Temperatures in places like Saudi Arabia routinely exceed 40 degrees Celsius with very little effect on the population. However, when the same extreme heat struck the people of Russia in 2010, it killed an estimated 56,000 people.

With an ever more mobile world population, potentially growing in size to 11 billion people by the next century, public health experts agree that the possibility of a cataclysmic disease is more likely now than ever before.
