Natural Hazards

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes, are unpredictable events that can have devastating impacts on society. The book explores the interplay between human activities and natural factors in exacerbating these hazards, particularly focusing on landslides. It highlights how land use, including road construction and deforestation, significantly contributes to the risk of landslides. Additionally, it addresses the challenges faced by workers in high-risk environments, where exposure to heavy machinery and hazardous conditions poses serious dangers.
