Excerpt

Natural hazards are physical phenomena that expose the coastal zone to risk of property damage, loss of life, or environmental degradation. Rapid-onset hazards last over periods of minutes to several days. Examples include major cyclones, accompanied by high winds, waves, surges, and tsunamis—giant sea waves set off by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or submarine landslides. Slow-onset hazards develop incrementally over longer time periods. Examples include coastal erosion and sea-level rise. …
