10. Hazard A hazard is a source of danger or threat that can cause damage to property or lives to be lost.

11. Natural Hazard A natural hazard is a threat from phenomena that are not man ‐ made, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes and tsunamis in the natural environment, which poses a danger to human life and property.

12. Tsunami The word, ‘tsunami’, is of Japanese origin, pronounced (tsoo ‐ NAH ‐ mee). The first part of the word, ‘tsu’ means ‘harbour’ and ‘nami' means ‘wave’. Tsunamis are called ‘maremoto’ in Spanish and ‘raz ‐ de ‐ marée’ in French. Some people also refer to tsunamis as seismic sea waves. Tsunamis are no longer called ‘tidal waves’.
