Our most frequent disasters are meteorological (weather-related) events, including:

• Thunderstorm
• Flood
• Tornado
• Hurricane
• Winter storm
• Drought
• Wildfire

The impact from these events can be localized or widespread, predictable or unpredictable. Damage can range from minimal to major. Depending on the severity of the incident, meteorological events can have a long-term impact on the infrastructure (roads, bridges, and utilities) of any location.
