Hazards

Natural hazards can have a tremendous effect on our lives. They have the potential to devastate homes and buildings, livelihoods, and communities and their infrastructure. But an improved understanding of natural hazards, coupled with effective planning, means there is a lot we can do to reduce their impact.

Firstly, Natural Hazards Inc. can help by assessing the type, frequency and size of hazards in your community. We can then assess the vulnerability of your community to these hazards; this includes the potential risk to your community's or region's economy, the likely number of human casualties and injuries, stock losses, infrastructure damage to roads and buildings etc.
