This document discusses natural disasters and provides information about them. It defines a natural disaster as a major adverse event caused by natural hazards that can result in loss of life, injury, economic loss, and environmental damage. It also discusses the Ring of Fire, which is an area in the Pacific Ocean basin with many earthquakes and volcanic eruptions due to tectonic plate movement. Several organizations that help respond to natural disasters are also mentioned, including the National Disaster Management Authority of India and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

What is natural disasters Anatural disasteris a major adverse event resulting from the earth's natural hazards. A natural disaster can include loss of life, injury, economic loss, and environmental loss. The severity of the losses depends on the ability of the affected population to resist the hazard.

The World is always changing. Natural disasters are changes which are so great they may cause damage to the shape of the land or to the lives of people and other living things. Great changes happen deep inside the Earth and on its surface. The changes on the outer part of the Earth happen because of different kinds of weather.
The term natural has consequently been disputed because the events are not purely natural but result from interaction between natural forces and the human race.
Natural disasters are often frightening and difficult for us to understand, because we have no control over when and where they happen. What we can control is how prepared we are as communities and governments to deal with the dangers that natural disasters bring.
Places that are more likely to have natural disasters, such as the earthquake-prone Pacific Ring of Fire, or coastal areas vulnerable to hurricanes, require accurate methods of predicting disasters and warning the public quickly. Once the people have been informed, evacuation routes must be provided so that they can all leave quickly and safely, even if they travel by foot. Emergency warnings and evacuation plans are not enough, though. .
Example of natural disaster Floods, Tsunami, Tornadoes, Hurricanes/cyclones, Volcanic eruptions, Earthquakes, Landslides.

The Pacific Ring of Fire.flv
Ring of Fire The Ring of fire or Pacific Ring of Fire is an area where large numbers of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean.
Facts The Ring of Fire is 40,000 km long and is shape as a horse shoe. The Ring of Fire has 452 volcanoes and is home to 75% of the world's active and dormant volcanoes. It is sometimes called the circum-Pacific belt or the circum-Pacific seismic belt. 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's largest earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire.

RING OF FIRE The Ring of Fire is a chain of volcanoes that line the Pacific Rim. The Pacific oceanic plate moves under the Eurasian plate forming mountains and volcanoes.

The Ring of Fire is a direct result of plate tectonics and the movement and collisions of lithospheric plates. The eastern section of the ring is the result of the Nazca Plate and the Cocos Plate being subducted beneath the westward moving South American Plate
PLATES STRESS Along the edges of the tectonic plates, stress builds up until eventually the plates moves suddenly and violently causing earthquakes.

JAPANS TECTONIC THREAT The islands of Japan were created by plate tectonics. The same internal forces have also challenged the people of Japan. Mt. Fuji, Japans tallest peak, is an active volcano that causes threat to Japan.
Pacific 'Ring of Fire' unleashes disaster- Example. JAKARTA, 29 May 2006 - The earthquake that rocked Java was the latest disaster in a part of the world known as the Pacific "Ring of Fire" that has seen a burst of seismic and volcanic activity that year. From the nuclear-like explosion of Krakatoa volcano off the coast of Indonesia in 1883 to the Indian Ocean tsunami disaster that killed 220,000 in late 2004 the Ring's awesome power is legend. The eruption of Mount St Helens in the United States in 1980, the freak quake that felled San Francisco in 1906 and the one that devastated Kobe, Japan, in 1995, were all part of the Ring's devastating toll.
Geoscientist Geoscientist study the volcanoes rocks and ash to see what minerals are found in the earth. Also if we study volcanoes, we will know when it might blow so we can save lives in near by towns.
Role of organisations Nation Disaster Management Authority Of India- NDMA National vision - To build a safer and disaster resilient India by developing a holistic, pro-active, multi-disaster and technology-driven strategy for disaster management through collective efforts of all Government Agencies and Non-Governmental Organisations. NDMA as the apex body is mandated to lay down the policies, plans and guidelines for Disaster Management to ensure timely and effective
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest humanitarian network that reaches 150 million people in 187 National Societies through the work of over 13 million volunteers.
Disaster response continues to represent the largest portion of the International Federation work, with assistance to around 30 million people annually from refugees to victims of natural disasters. This section includes our emergency response units and issues relating to humanitarian policies as they strive to improve the quality of our immediate response and long-term rehabilitation work.
National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC), the never center of all intelligence agencies of Pakistan that acts as focal point in all emergencies is one of the most prestigious governmental organization in Pakistan. RAD Federation was invited to draft a proposal for the development of NCMC website along with National Security Threat Advisory system. After the initial kickoff meeting with director NCMC it was deemed necessary to analyze the nature of NCMC as an organization and for this a week of in depth study was spent to produce a matching proposal.
At RAD Federation learned that the Crisis Management represents one of the most difficult, challenging, urgent tasks that public managers face. Crisis environments are complex, dynamic and place lives, property, and continuity of operations in our communities at risk.
