About this product

Infographics explain disasters, their causes, and how to prepare. Disasters severely impact people, property, and the environment when hazards affect vulnerable populations. Key terms define hazards (dangerous events), risk levels (people and assets at risk), and community preparedness. Hazards include natural (e.g., earthquakes), human-caused (e.g., industrial accidents), and environmental (e.g., climate change) factors. Disasters have immediate and long-term consequences. Human activities like deforestation worsen risks, amplified by climate change. Preparation involves emergency kits, evacuation plans, staying informed, building safe structures, and environmental protection. The infographic urges proactive disaster preparedness to save lives and build safer communities.
