A natural disaster is a major event arising from the natural processes of the Earth. This causes a great loss of life and property. Those who lost their lives during such disasters outnumber those who face life after being homeless and orphaned. Even peace and economy are badly affected by natural disaster.

A natural disaster is the result of a natural hazard (such as avalanche, earthquake, volcano, flood, tsunami, cyclonic storm, blizzard, hail and many more) that affects human activities. Lack of proper planning and emergency management further increases human vulnerabilities, causing economic, human and environmental damage.

Today, many kinds of natural disasters on earth cause huge loss of life and property every year. These disasters suddenly come and destroy everything in just a few seconds. By the time human can understand and do anything, the disaster has destroyed everything. This happened because we do not have any effective measures or devices to avoid these disasters.
