natural disaster modeling

Natural disaster modeling involves using scientific data and computer simulations to predict where and how events like earthquakes, hurricanes, or floods might occur. Researchers analyze historical patterns, geographic features, weather data, and other factors to estimate the likelihood, potential impact, and affected areas of these events. This helps governments, communities, and organizations prepare plans, allocate resources, and design infrastructure to reduce damage and save lives. Essentially, it's a way to understand and anticipate natural disasters so we can better plan and respond.
