11. Floods in rivers and Natural These floods can destroy
coastal areas buildings, roads, bridges, etc.
12. Avalanche Natural Causing death or injury,

13. Tsunami Natural Causing devastating property
damage and loss of life.
14. Bomb Explosion Man-made The shock wave can directly
injure humans by rupturing
