3. Natural Hazards
A natural hazard is the threat of
an event that will likely have a
negative impact.

4. Natural Disasters
A natural disaster is the negative
impact that effects the
communities after a natural hazard.

5. Types of Hazards
The United States outlines the following 18 Natural Hazards:
Avalanche
Coastal Flooding
Cold Wave
Drought
Earthquake
Hail
Heatwave
Hurricane
Ice Storm
Landslide
Lightning
Riverine Flooding
Strong Wind
Tornado
Tsunami
Volcanic Activity
Wildfire
Winter Weather

and
How it’s
managed

8. Engineers have worked hard to create
technologies to help minimize the potential
negative effect that comes with natural hazards.
Minimizing the Effect

9. The National
Weather Service
In the United States, the
National Weather Service
provides forecasts and alerts
to protect communities.

10. Technologies
Avalanche
Mortars
Avalanche Mortars
are an explosive
device that are used
to create small
avalanches so that
snow is not able to
build up to the point
of a catastrophic one.
Seismometers Water Gauges Doppler Radar
Seismometers are
used to measure
earthquakes by
detecting vibrations
in the Earth's surface.
This helps to predict
when earthquakes
may occur.
Water Gauges are
used to mark the
water height and can
single a need for
evacuation of
communities If the
level reaches above a
certain spot.
Doppler Radars send
out radio waves and
are used to monitor
storms that can
include
thunderstorms, hail
and tornados.

11. Engineering helps create
solutions to help mitigate effects
of Natural Hazards. From the
technologies created to the ways
in which homes are built
engineers play an important role
in helping protect communities.

12. It is important that you are
prepared for potential disasters
depending on your location.
Having an emergency supply kit
and an emergency plan are two
basic steps to be prepared!
