    1) Natural disasters are natural phenomena that occur without human involvement and can include events like earthquakes, typhoons, volcanic eruptions, and landslides. 2) Disasters are characterized by damage, loss of life, disruption to human activities, and exceeding a community's ability to cope using their own resources. 3) The Philippines is considered a disaster hotspot country due to its high risk from natural hazards like earthquakes and typhoons. Natural phenomena combined with vulnerability and lack of coping capacity contribute to this risk.
