    Natural disasters refer to losses caused by natural events like earthquakes, floods, and tsunamis. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone that forms over warm ocean waters and circulates around a low pressure center, generating strong winds and rain. Hurricanes cause damage through winds exceeding 155 miles per hour and over 150 millimeters of rain per day, resulting in severe flooding, landslides, and diseases from contaminated water. To prepare, people should secure emergency supplies, reinforce doors and windows, store canned and boiled water, pay attention to official reports, and learn their risk level from local authorities.
