One of the biggest and worst effects of a tsunami is the cost to human life because unfortunately escaping a tsunami is nearly impossible. - Since 1850 alone, tsunamis have been responsible for the loss of more than 430,000 lives. There is very little warning before a tsunamis hits land. As the water rushes toward land, it leaves very little time to map an escape plan. People living in coastal regions, towns and villages have no time to escape. The violent force of the tsunami results in instant death, most commonly by drowning., Volcanic eruptions can result in additional threats to health. - Volcanoes spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava, and rock that are powerfully destructive. Health concerns after a volcanic eruption include infectious disease, respiratory illness, burns, injuries from falls, and vehicle accidents related to the slippery, hazy conditions caused by ash. When warnings are heeded, the chances of adverse health effects from a volcanic eruption are very low., The economical situations after floods can also be greatly affected - Billions of dollars have been donated by the government to rebuild and pay back what was lost. Many times these things include houses, roads, buildings, cars and schools. Another thing that people lose in the event of floods is their jobs. After water has damaged buildings and such, businesses can be shut down and faced bankruptcy. This causes lots of people to be jobless, which in effect, creates no way of paying for daily needs., Another significant effect tornadoes have on humans is the property damage. - Weak tornadoes can take the roofs off buildings and break windows. Stronger tornadoes have been shown to level buildings. This can have a considerable economic impact. In 1999, Oklahoma suffered about $1.1 billion in property damage and crop losses from tornadoes., The traffic would be affected badly during a blizzard. - When a blizzard hits, it gets a lot of people, many of whom are still on the road driving. Blizzards have a severe effect as visibility is reduced drastically. It, therefore, might result in traffic snarl-ups that last for hours and even days. For those driving at higher speeds, they can end up crashing their vehicles, mostly onto other cars since visibility is at a minimum. This can result in serious injuries and even deaths. Medical emergencies, therefore, become difficult to attend to during a blizzard.,
