    Natural Calamities Of 2023

    TAKE A TOUR 
    Introduction :-

     Brief overview of natural calamities in 2023 :-


     From seismic tremors, rampant wildfires, and
    relentless droughts to overwhelming floods,
    perilous landslides, formidable cyclones, and
    tempestuous storms, 2023 has proven to be a
    catastrophic annum, surpassing the statistical
    benchmarks set by preceding years
     Ex. - Hurricane Otis striking Mexico to the
    Hurricanes That Occurred In 2023 :-

     Tropical Storm Ophelia made landfall Sept. 23, as a strong tropical storm
    with 70 mph winds on Emerald Island, N.C.
     Hurricane Idalia, which formed in the northwestern Caribbean,
    intensified into a Category 4 hurricane before making landfall as a
    category-3 hurricane on Aug. 30 near Keaton Beach, Fla. Idalia was the
    only U.S. landfalling hurricane in 2023
     Hurricane Lee made landfall as a post-tropical cyclone in Nova Scotia,
    Canada, on Sept. 16. Swells generated by Lee caused dangerous surf and
    rip currents along the entire U.S. Atlantic coast.
     Overall, 20 tropical cyclones formed, of which 17 reached tropical storm
    intensity and were named. A total of 10 of these storms became hurricanes,
    and eight became major hurricanes.

    Floods Of 2023 :-

     Asia :-
     In Asia, countries like China, India, and Bangladesh faced devastating floods in 2023.
     Monsoon rains led to overflowing rivers and flash floods, affecting millions of people and displacing communities.
     Bangladesh, a low-lying country, experienced severe flooding, exacerbating
    the challenges faced by its densely populated regions and impacting livelihoods and agriculture .
     Europe :-
     Central Europe experienced severe flooding in 2023, particularly in countries like Germany, Austria, and
    Switzerland.
     Heavy rainfall caused rivers such as the Danube, Rhine, and Elbe to overflow their banks, leading to
    widespread flooding in urban and rural areas.
     The floods resulted in significant damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and buildings, as well as
    agricultural land and crops.
    Conclusion :-

     Preparation: Resilient systems must be properly developed to


    fight extreme events through appropriate measures and actions.
    Preventions: These measures should be planned in a way to
    ensure that a loss does not happen in a first place.
     Natural disasters are part of our human environment. Natural
    disasters do not discriminate between people of a society and
    other communities. In general, no crisis is solely dependent on
    natural factors.
    Ending
