First let’s dissect the words and

l hazards
property damage, loss of livelihoods and
services, social and economic disruption, or
explain their definition: environmental damage”.

Hazard: any source that

can cause harm or damage to

Extreme
humans, property or the
environment. 
Hydrometeorology: it’s a branch

weather
of meteorology and hydrology that studies
the transfer of water and energy between the
Floods:
land surface and the lower atmosphere. 
Hazard and risk are often used
intertwined, but they are in fact
different. Risk is defined as the
probability that exposure to a
hazard will lead to a negative
consequence.
The hazards you can think of are tropical
cyclones (typhoons and hurricanes),
thunderstorms, hailstorms, tornados, blizzards,
heavy snowfall, avalanches, coastal storm
surges, floods including flash floods, drought,
heatwaves and cold spells.  often sudden, droughts are slow events that
they affect every country, and
cause more fatalities and more property
damage than any other type of hazard. Not
only does it cause injuries and deaths,
floods can disrupt water purification and
sewage disposal systems, and can cause
toxic water waste sited to overflow. 
Hurricanes, cyclone and typhoons:
these are severe storms that form over
tropical water. Windstorm-related events
worldwide cause an average of 30,000
deaths and US$2.3 billion in damage each
year.
Droughts: while floods and storms are
can cause large agro-ecological damage
and seriously disrupt socio-economic life.
