1.  Flooding – caused by heavy rains or melting snow, flooding can cause property damage, destroy infrastructure, and leave people without access to clean water or sanitation facilities.
2.  Earthquakes – earthquakes occur when tectonic plates move and release energy that causes shaking and ground movement.
3.  Wildfires – wildfires can spread quickly due to dry vegetation and high winds, destroying homes and other buildings.
4.  Tornadoes – tornadoes form in thunderstorms as rotating columns of air that rotate around a center point.
