Geohazard

A geohazard is something that can happen in the earth's environment that can cause harm or danger to people and their homes or communities. Sometimes, the earth can move in ways that can cause damage, like earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. These are natural occurrences and while they can be scary, we can prepare and stay safe by listening to experts and following instructions. Other ways the environment can be dangerous include severe weather like floods, hurricanes, or avalanches. It's important to be aware of these hazards and to take steps to protect ourselves and our communities.
