3. Types of Disaster
Natural Disasters
 Geophysical (e.g. Earthquakes, Landslides, Tsunamis
and Volcanic Activity)
 Hydrological (e.g. Avalanches and Floods)
 Climatological (e.g. Extreme Temperatures, Drought
and Wildfires) Meteorological (e.g. Cyclones and
Storms/Wave Surges)
 Biological (e.g. Disease Epidemics and Insect/Animal
Plagues)
Man-Made Disasters
 Environmental Degradation
 Pollution
 Accidents (e.g. Industrial, Technological and Transport
usually involving the production, use or transport of
hazardous materials)

4.  Food Insecurity
 Epidemics
 Armed Conflicts
 Displaced Populations
According to IRRC these Complex Emergencies are
typically characterized by :
 Extensive Violence
 Displacements of Populations
 Loss of Life
 Widespread Damage to both Societies and Economies
 Need for Large-scale, Humanitarian Assistance across
Multiple Agencies
 Political and Military Constraints which impact or
prevent Humanitarian Assistance
 Increased Security Risks for Humanitarian Relief
Workers
Complex Emergencies

5. Pandemic Emergencies
Ebola
Zika
Avian Flu
Cholera
Dengue Fever
Malaria
Yellow Fever
Coronavirus Disease
(COVID-19)

6. Hazard mapping
Landslide early warning
Volcano and land subsidence monitoring
 Wildfire early detection and control
Glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) early
warning in Bhutan
 Response to the 2011 Great East Japan
Earthquake.
