Many things can cause a flood. The sudden melting of snow and ice produce river and lake floods. Flash floods are caused by too much rain in the mountains and in cities. Flash floods happen when heavy rain causes a lot of water to gather in a narrow space.

The effect of flooding on the value of property will cause real estate to plummet in a city. The first thing that people look for in cities and suburban areas is secure, disaster-free areas that are not near earthquake zones or vulnerable to flooding. Owing to inadequate public planning or exposure to bodies of water, there are areas or areas that are more vulnerable to floods.

Windstorms can take several forms, including downbursts, derechos, haboobs, and dust storms. When windstorms carry fine particles, as in a dust storm, they can reduce visibility quickly and may lead to accidents and massive car and truck pile-ups.

The impact of a landslide can be extensive, including loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, damage to land and loss of natural resources. Landslide material can also block rivers and increase the risk of floods.

Landslides are caused by disturbances in the natural stability of a slope. They can accompany heavy rains or follow droughts, earthquakes, or volcanic eruptions. Mudslides develop when water rapidly accumulates in the ground and results in a surge of water-saturated rock, earth, and debris.

90% of all wildfires are caused by humans. Human acts of carelessness such as leaving campfires unattended and negligent discarding of cigarette butts result in wildfire disasters every year. Accidents, deliberate acts of arson, burning of debris, and fireworks are as well other substantial causes of wildfires.
