Natural disasters have a devastating impact on society, costing lives, damaging infrastructure, and disrupting livelihoods. Natural Hazards Managers play a vital role in mitigating the effects of these disasters by identifying risks, developing preparedness plans, and coordinating response and recovery efforts. They work closely with emergency management agencies, government officials, and community organizations to ensure that communities are prepared for and resilient to natural hazards.
