Natural disasters are situations caused by natural factors that negatively influence society in terms of socio-cultural and economic activities and cause significant loss of lives and goods. Worldwide, an average of 150,000 people per year die from natural disasters, and about 150 million people are in need of disasters-caused housing, food and medical assistance. Although natural disasters are often caused or prevented by natural events, they differ perceptively in terms of effects and consequences, depending on the physical, cultural and social characteristics of society.
