Yes it has definatly changed. Weather patterns and global warming has significaly changed, so it would have to play a part in the frequency of Natural Disasters. I would say especially hurricanes. Just in the past 30 years Tropical storms, and Hurricanes have increased both by how many and the distance they travel. #0 years ago I was 8 years old and in Manahawkin NJ we had so many snow storms, the snow would stick on the ground and we actually had days to shovel snow and play. Now The Snow storms are very weak and the snow that does stick is washed away either the same day or the next day. No fun.

How do you conclude a speech on natural disasters?
A natural disaster is a consequence when a natural hazard affects humans and/or the built environment. Human vulnerability, and lack of appropriate emergency management, leads to financial, environmental, or human impact. The resulting loss depends on the capacity of the population to support or resist the disaster: their resilience. This understanding is concentrated in the formulation: "disasters occur when hazards meet vulnerability". A natural hazard will hence never result in a natural disaster in areas without vulnerability. Various phenomena like earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods and cyclones are all natural hazards that kill thousands of people and destroy billions of dollars of habitat and property each year. However, natural hazards can strike in unpopulated areas and never develop into disasters. However, the rapid growth of the world's population and its increased concentration often in hazardous environments has escalated both the frequency and severity of natural disasters. With the tropical climate and unstable land forms, coupled with deforestation, unplanned growth proliferation, non-engineered constructions which make the disaster-prone areas more vulnerable, tardy communication, poor or no budgetary allocation for disaster prevention, developing countries suffer more or less chronically by natural disasters.
