Natural Disasters: Definition and some general ideas ANA
- So, to start a natural disaster is a main adverse event resulting from natural

5. India Cyclone
On 1839, what became known as the "India Cyclone" hit the harbor
village of Coringa, located in India. The cyclone triggered a 40-foot-wave
that destroyed much of the village and most of the ships near the area, with
about 20,000 people drowning at sea. An estimated total of 300,000 people
died because of the cyclone.

4. Bhola Cyclone
The deadliest cyclone ever recorded, the Bhola cyclone struck East
Pakistan (what is now Bangladesh) and India's West Bengal on 1970,
flooding much of the low-lying islands of the Ganges Delta. Approximately
500,000 people died, primarily because of the floods that resulted from the
cyclone's storm surge, or a rise in water level that overtakes the shore.

3. Shaanxi Earthquake
In 1556, the deadliest earthquake ever recorded occurred in the Shaanxi
province and the neighboring Shanxi province, located in northern China.
The catastrophic earthquake had an estimated magnitude of 8 and killed
approximately 830,000 people. This death toll is believed to have reduced
the population of both provinces by about 60 percent.

2. Yellow River Flood
The Yellow River Flood, the worst flood in human history and the second
deadliest disaster ever, occurred in September 1887, when the Yellow River
overran the dikes in China's Henan Province. The flood devastated 11 large
Chinese towns and hundreds of villages, leaving millions homeless. The
flood waters covered 50,000 square miles, killing an estimated 900,000 to
2,000,000 people.
LAURA:
1. Central China Floods
The worst natural disaster in history, the Central China Floods occurred
from July to August 1931, when the Yangtze River overflowed and caused a
series of floods. As a result of the massive flooding, an estimated 3.7 million
people died from drowning, disease and starvation. According to the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, more than 51 million
