                      The trauma






                                of flood

                    According to the dictionary natural disasters can be described as a natural event
                    such as a flood, earthquake, or hurricane that causes great damage or loss of life.
                    So we can say that a natural disaster is almost all the time by a natural cause.

                    Floods  earthquakes  thunderstorms            The  main tools used to detect heavy
                    wildfires  are  some  examples  of  the       rainfall  associated  with  flash  floods
                    most  common  types  of  natural              are  satellite,  lightning  observing
                    disasters.  Now  we  all  know  life  has     systems,  radar,  and  rain  gauges.
