The April 2015 Nepal earthquake (also known as the Gorkha earthquake)[5][8] killed

nearly 9,000 people and injured nearly 22,000. It occurred at 11:56 Nepal
Standard Time on 25 April, with a magnitude of 7.8Mw[1] or 8.1Ms[9]and a
maximum Mercalli Intensity of IX (Violent). Its epicenter was east of Gorkha District at
Barpak, Gorkha, and itshypocenter was at a depth of approximately 8.2 km (5.1 mi).
[1]
It was the worst natural disaster to strike Nepal since the1934 NepalBihar
earthquake.[10][11][12] The ground motion recorded in Kathmandu valley was of low
frequency which, along with its occurrence at an hour where many people in rural
areas were working outdoors, decreased the loss of property and human life. [

The 2001 Gujarat earthquake, also known as the Bhuj earthquake, occurred on 26
January, India's 52nd Republic Day, at 08:46 AM IST and lasted for over 2 minutes.
The epicentre was about 9 km south-southwest of the village
ofChobari in Bhachau Taluka of Kutch District of Gujarat, India.[5]
The intraplate earthquake reached 7.7 on the moment magnitude scale and had a
maximum felt intensity of X (Extreme) on the Mercalli intensity scale. The earthquake
killed between 13,805 and 20,023 people (including 18 in southeasternPakistan),
injured another 167,000 and destroyed nearly 400,000 homes. [6]

The 2014 Floods:

In Jammu and Kashmir, lives of thousands of people have been devastated by one of
the worst floods to hit the state in over 100 years. The death toll after the floods
was at 280, and 2.53 lakh houses are damaged in the state.
More than 2500 villages were affected in the floods.
Over 550,000 displaced by the floods are in desperate need of clean water, food and
shelter.
Oxfam is on the ground in Jammu and Kashmir and providing water, sanitation and
hygiene (WaSH) support; along with food and emergency shelters to help people cope
with the crisis.

A tsunami (plural: tsunamis or tsunami; from Japanese: , lit. "harbour wave";

[1]
English pronunciation: /tsunmi/[2]) , also known as a seismic sea wave, is a
series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement of a large volume of
water, generally in an ocean or a large lake.[3] Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and
other underwater explosions (including detonations of underwater nuclear devices),
landslides,glacier calvings, meteorite impacts and other disturbances above or below
water all have the potential to generate a tsunami.[4] Unlike normal ocean waves which
are generated by wind, or tides which are generated by the gravitational pull of the
Moon and Sun, a tsunami is generated by the displacement of water.

Extremely Severe Cyclonic Storm Phailin (Thai: meaning "sapphire")[1] was

the most intense tropical cycloneto make landfall in India since the 1999 Odisha
cyclone.[2] The system was first noted as a tropical depression on October 4, 2013
within the Gulf of Thailand, to the west of Phnom Penh in Cambodia. Over the next
few days, it moved westwards within an area of low to moderate vertical wind shear,
before as it passed over the Malay Peninsula, it moved out of the Western Pacific
Basin on October 6. It emerged into the Andaman Sea during the next day and moved
west-northwest into an improving environment for further development before the
system was named Phailin on October 9, after it had developed into a cyclonic storm
and passed over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands into the Bay of Bengal.

In June 2013, a multi-day cloudburst centered on the North Indian state

of Uttarakhand caused devastating floods and landslides becoming the country's
worst natural disaster since the 2004 tsunami. The reason the floods were on such a
larger scale than the regular floods the state usually received was because of the
debris of the building of dams upstream. The debris blocked up the rivers, causing
major overflow. The main day of the flood is said to be on 16 June 2013. Though
some parts of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in India
experienced the flood, some regions of Western Nepal, and some parts of
Western Tibet also experienced heavy rainfall, over 89 % of the casualties occurred in
Uttarakhand. As of 16 July 2013, according to figures provided by the Uttarakhand
government, more than 5,700 people were "presumed dead." [2] This total included 934
local residents.[3]
