Absztrakt

Aim: The aim of this article is to examine the terminology behind natural disasters and to group them together to give readers an insight into the world of natural hazards. The author also aims to describe the quantitative changes that have occurred in recent years.
Methodology: The definitions are based on the presentation of concepts used by key authorities. Categorisation and trend analysis is based on international discourse, databases and reports from relevant bodies and organisations.
Findings: The security environment is changing dramatically. One reason for this is that there is a clear increase in a number of categories of natural events (disasters). As regards definitions, there is no uniform concept, but disasters are exceptional events with significant material damage.
Value: Through the author’s analytical and evaluative work, the reader will gain insight into the world of natural disasters, a broad knowledge of the relevant literature, and valuable insights into global vulnerability and changing trends.
