What are Ireland's natural hazards?

Ireland has very few major natural hazards. It has no active volcanoes. Very minor earthquakes are sometimes felt in Ireland, but they pose no threat. Ireland does not get the extremes of weather that some parts of the world get. What it can get is some storms, though nothing like the major hurricanes other parts of the world get. When it rains very heavily, then there can be flooding, but it is not serious flooding by international standards. There are very few landslides in Ireland. Trees falling after storms can happen. Ireland is an island, so it can sometimes get high tides and that is a threat to people at sea. It does not get tsunamis.
