      Hi,


      This is an interesting question!

      Natural hazards and natural disasters are linked, but are not the same.

      A natural hazard is the threat of an event that will likely have a negative impact. For example, a thunderstorm is a hazard.

      A natural disaster includes the negative impacts following a natural hazard. A natural disaster significantly harms a community. For example, a tidal wave impacting a costal city.


      I hope I helped you!

      See you soon!
