    There are several types of natural disasters including heat waves, snowstorms, droughts, sandstorms, and forest fires. Heat waves can cause health issues and other disasters like droughts and forest fires. Snowstorms immobilize populations and leave them without access to resources. Droughts severely impact health, agriculture, economies, energy, and the environment. Sandstorms are common in arid regions and caused by thunderstorms or strong winds. Forest fires can occur naturally from heat or lightning but most are caused by human activities.
