Abstract

A complex natural process that occurs on earth is referred to as a natural disaster when it results in catastrophic life, economic and structural losses. Ranging from cyclone activity, bushfire, and tsunami waves to thunderstorms, earthquake and floods, the severity of natural disasters keeps on increasing along with population growth. Health disasters such as epidemics also add to the above list of catastrophic events. The complexity of the natural processes result in inherent randomness in the formation, development, and propagation of natural disasters.
